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.

MODERATORS
It’s amazing how many downvotes you are getting just for refuting the genocide narrative with simple facts and logic. I can’t tell if people are so afraid of being labeled a genocide denier or if they are genuinely this propagandized that they just instinctively react emotionally to anything that counters their worldview. It’s sad, to be honest.
It's the latter. Unironically the CIA has made amazing strides in psychological operations compared to their older work despite their massive failings lately in direct interventions.
Despite them admitting to doing the same thing in regards to Tibet, wherein they claimed an impossibly large genocide and totally accidentally supported a child rapist who wants to return to a kingdom that allows him to have infinite child sex slaves, they were still successful in their campaign of making Americans pretend to care about Uyghurs and a genocide that has no evidence behind it.
So when they, the Americans and other groups affected by said propaganda, receive new propaganda like the most uncharitable reading of a positive law that actually protects cultural identity, ensures continued education in endangered languages and cultures, while still enabling the economic boon that comes from being able to speak the same language as 86% of all businesses in the country... they just believe that interpretation. Cognitive Dissonance is a serious problem amongst propagandized populations (warning, ironic link) and I don't know how exactly to combat that except act as a beacon of diverse opinion and fact so that some of them might possibly break out of their conditioning, or at least start to question why they agree with the CIA over actual people living in the region.
