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.

MODERATORS
The Word Socialist website is supporting Chinese propaganda, including Beijing's aggression against Taiwan, and they support Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Unfortunately their bias is being served by what appear to be very credible accusations of warcrimes by British special forces.
Surely you mean "NATO–Ukraine war against Russia".
Their words, not mine.
Yes, and I support Russia's Special Military Operation as I am not a big fan of Nazis.
WSWS has an okay MBFC Credibility Rating.
Annnnddd I've seen enough lol
Will you tankies ever not prove yourselves insane?
Just once, I want to interact with a tankie who breaks the stereotypes and the mold. Just a bit.
Seriously. I can kinda get along with the general concept of communism/socialism - wealth should belong to the people who do the actual work and no one should have to struggle.
But then these insane people support the worst dictators murdering innocent people and try to pretend it's justified. Absolute trash people.
To be fair some of them are bots and paid actors.
I would like to think it's most of them. After all, how awesome would it be to catch the people escaping the social media platforms that are drifting right by creating one or two new ones? No guarantees of success, but it's still something, and you'd quietly have control of it to slowly push them whatever direction might be handy.
Russian's military has just as many and likely significantly more Nazis than Ukraine's. So shouldn't you support neither side?
Or is it the Russian Nazis are okay right now because they are fighting against the Western Nazis?
There is a difference between institutionalized Nazis in Ukraine and extremist elements within Russia.
Ukraine's Azov Battalion was made an official part of Ukraine's Armed Forces and has become a premier unit in Ukraine's military. Stepan Bandera is treated as a national hero in Ukraine. Bandera's birthday is a national holiday.
To use someone else's analogy, this would be like if the KKK was promoted to a premier unit in the US military, and Nathan Bedford Forrest was treated as a national hero, with his birthday becoming a national holiday.
ironic
Amazing display of Cognitive dissonance
How so?
The support of russia
Yes, I support a country that has many problems in their fight against Nazi Ukraine, how is this contradictory?
You support a fascist nazi government trying to anex a country that has some nazis
Russia is not a fascist state.
Russia is a textbook fascist state. And they love their nazis
On the contrary, Nazis aren't treated well in Russia.
More people are arrested in Russia for inciting racial hatred than the rest of Europe, USA, and Canada combined.
Kgb propaganda
Not that MB/FC is credible. Previously. Previously.
