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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

The cost of allowing Vladimir Putin to live, is getting thrown in the meat grinder.
The meat grinding will not stop until Putin dies.
Yeah, but it's always other people getting thrown in the meat grinder, it would never be me!
The people waiting to take over from Putin are not going to make matters any better.
Best relieve them of the burden of leadership then.
That's assuming there isn't a populist revolution. It's not like Russia is immune to revolutions or anything...
Yeah, the oligarchs are planning to take over, but that's also why they keep dying. Who's going to be left in the end? Is there actually going to be an oligarch capable of taking over? Anyone capable of it will be a target.
Can't happen soon enough. It feels good knowing that most of us here on Lemmy will outlive this monster and get to dance on his grave!
As a Ukrainian, it's hard to be certain, unfortunately
Dpubt it will stop after, there are enough in his party to continue this and other mad plans. They all need to be removed from the gene pool at the same time
I cannot imagine a scenario where allowing his inner circle to stay in power would be acceptable.
Absolutely but how to remove them all at the same time? last time a purge happened was when putin came to power, suddenly a whole load of officials were arrested for bribery ect, mostly from other political camps.
don't see anyone unsitting putins party especially with the amount of ballot stuffing
Prigozhin was about to march into Moscow and take over before they talked him out of it and then killed him.
When Russian citizens finally have had enough of the bullshit, they will take heads. Any of the regime that is too stupid to scatter at that point will simply be swept away.
All of this can be initiated at any time.
I have an idea but it requires several pairs of simultaneously-activated key switches and will probably end humanity.
No, the russians ain't got a single working nuke. They stole the budget for that. Now all they have is posturing and pretending.
Need to do it the old fashioned Russian way. Get the military heads behind you, overthrow the despot, put him and all his cronies up against the wall, and then the next “strong leader” takes power.
Many Russans seem to think that is their destiny, so they have few issues with it.
Then they should hurry up and volunteer, so that Putin doesn't need to announce recruiting drives.
Sign up, ship out, blow up.
