Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Any American who sides with the EU should pack up and leave. Buy American. Die European.
They are welcome to come here. I wouldn't wanna live in a country with someone like Trump either.
Cool. We want neither them nor you. Only the best people deserve the best place on earth.
How about a nuclear budge for you out of the planet? 🫏 🕳️
What would make someone one of the "best people" beside of course living in the same area as you do 🤪
Ah, well, you see, that's just silly. Thought we could have a fun little game here but you're a teenager
Just remember sister, if it wasn’t for American soldiers in 1940s Europe, you and yours would be goose stepping and saluting Adolf today.
Rofl, America is far from the best.
We are so far ahead of any other people on earth that it’s hard to even see second place. LMAO! 🇺🇸👊
Except in life expectancy, infant mortality, gdp, literacy, crime, and basically every other metric on the books. Nice try though. America is a shit hole thanks to jingoistic fucks like you!
Just wait until China or Russia comes a knocking, fool boy. You will all scurry like the cockroaches you are and beg us for help. We are the most powerful economy on earth and we have unparalleled freedoms. European countries are afraid to speak nowadays. Only a nitwit would proclaim that the EU countries come close to America in any respect whatsoever. Just because you confidently say something doesn’t make it so silly little girl. What do you have to live for anyway?
The numbers don't lie. All that bleating while America tanks, rofl. Fear mongering about and embracing Russia at the same time. Man, the right wingers really are confused. Politically, sexually. It makes sense why they're so mad. Anyway, you're the first person I've blocked on Lemmy lol. Glad I'll never have to see another nutbag post from the likes of you.
They’re welcome here. You would not be with your current mindset.
I am confused if this is a low effort trolling attempt or if people's ideas are legitimately this easily swayed by internal propaganda.
They 100% are easily manipulated by propaganda.
Trump said Biden left the border open? They repeat it.
Trump said trans inmates are using all the taxpayer dollars? They repeat it.
Trump says immigrants are eating cats and dogs and taking over apartment complexes? They repeat it.
Every single talking point, they repeat it.
And the right wing misinformation machine is operating at its peak. They are getting news agencies to change the way they cover stories to be more in line with what the Trumpists are pushing. They are punishing dissent inside the government and in any group that deals with the government. They are pressuring social media sites to increasingly moderate progressive comments. There is an overall atmosphere that is increasing in the country l where it's acceptable to censor free speech. Either you get in line with the Trump administration, or you become a target.
Fuck America and fuck Americans that say shit like this. Signed, an American.
Bite me eurogarbage! You got zero! 💩
You ain’t no real American! 💩 🇨🇳 🇷🇺
I mean I would love to immigrate to somewhere that had a functioning health care system and I actually could envision a future as a millenial where I was allowed to participate in society meaningfully and do major things like maybe have a kid.
It beats living at the end of a book where the author ran out of money to keep running the story, but the characters are still forced to get up and go to work even though there is clearly no story left for them like some forgotten nightmare.
Fuck the U.S.
