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.
-
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.

Americans are nothing less than violent murderers.
Every single yank has blood on their hands because they refuse to overthrow their government doing this
This is WW2 Germany, but this time it’s being played out by a narcissistic pedophile
They are all complicit in these crimes.
They are all cowards.
They are all afraid to act on on their 2nd Amendment
FUCK YOU AMERICA!!!
Thank you for volunteering to pay our bills while we overthrow our government!
Meh, not that great an argument. We really shouldn't be paying bills to people who allow this system to keep chugging.
Better argument would be that we have our own domestic military to be afraid of (i.e. AmeriKKKan police).
And even in the face of both these arguments, I think it's 1000% justified to be upset at USians because they barely even have to try to manufacture our consent anymore.
You're so passionate! I encourage you to come to the USA and lead the charge. Show us how it's done! Your leadership will surely be a shining beacon for all, your wisdom remembered for the ages. We'll erect a big statue of you and everything.
p.s. if Americans are violent murderers, so are every citizen of every country that aids the US military war machine in any way; if you sit at the table with Nazis you are a Nazi, etc. Chances are very good the USA arms YOUR country
But they have work tomorrow. /s
I'm sure y'all say that to North Koreans too. What a bunch of cowards for being powerless.
North Koreans are not obliterating their neighbours and the middle east. What a stupid comparison.
So if Kim Jong In also blew up neighbors, the slaves would then be responsible for stopping him?
Also, protestors are now labeled as terrorists, so if you protest now your employment is limited. It gets worse every day.
I'm appalled by the US leaders and protesting against this shit whenever I can, but using the WW2 example undermines your argument unless the logic is that all the German jews would have just fixed all that Hitler shit if they weren't such cowards.
So, do you say the same about russians?
No, only about the people in the rich country. You know, the ones with no job security, free health care / education, no Internet privacy laws, shitty public transportation and expensive car notes, no social safety net except the ones boomers have, and 40+ hour work weeks tied to health care. Now just think of the felonies everyone will have since protestors are labeled terrorists and so they will never be able to vote again or get a good job. God what a shit show.
Folks, the fight has to happen a different way. They didn't win by force, and they will not lose by force either. There needs to be bot farms spreading positive news and facts. Use the same tactics maybe.
