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.

We're at war with a far right authoritarian government intent on destroying our way of life and conquering the entire world. The Chinese Communist Party has to be stopped at all costs. This is a small price to pay in order to bring an end to Xi's Totalitarian Regime.
Google "Tiananmen Square" and then get back to me, if you don't think this is serious.
had me in the first part, the US is indeed far right and authoritarian. and must be stopped. 😉
You’re at war with two far-right authoritarian governments, and they BOTH want you to work yourself to death.
I'll take "this fucker doesn't know how anything works" for $200, Alex.
China will 100% win this war tho lol. They have all the resources, manufacturing capacity, etc. The US is a dead shell with no ability to self sustain without global trade.
I mean, more seriously, it's not a war anyone can win. China's insourcing a lot of their productive capacity, but not because they love the idea of jettisoning all the talented Western engineers and manufacturers. It's because they can't risk being sanctioned out of the supply chain on some asshole's racist whims.
The US/China relationship was symbiotic. Ending it hurts us all.
We continue to enjoy enormous professional, technical, and industrial capacities. But we're cannibalizing them for short term profit.
It's not anywhere close to gone, but it won't last forever, either.
Yeah the conflict is not actually benificial to anyone except rich people (just like actual wars)
What do you think about Israel?
Totally cool. Russia too.
Don't feel bad, but your takes don't meet the minimum threshold for me to take you seriously.
It's not the same person,so I think they're mocking the person the question was originally for.
Shhh and get back in mah underpants!
