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. 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 10/19
-
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.

Because it's true?
Lol, wake me up when these problems get solved doing something I don't suggest.
Omg can you repeat the same statement more please? You repeating yourself over and over in dozens of comments is not you being smart. We already did the intervention thing- it didn't work. Get a fucking education. Literally you would make more sense if you were asleep.
Err... say something different and then I will, lol.
It's not that difficult.
Are you saying because intervention hasn't worked in the past, then it is impossible for it to work in the future? Like there's some universal truth around brown people solving their own problems? What about intervening in Ukraine? Is that okay?
Lol. "Get a fucking education" is real ironic coming from someone who clearly doesn't have a clue about what's going on around them.
Buddy. You have no idea. The only thing you've said is "build small communities to change over time" or "they need intervention".
Building smal communities hasn't worked for the last 2000 years but sure- let's just have them do that some more they surely will do something different this time.
We literally JUST spent the last 20 years intervening. What pray tell do you suggest will be different by doing it again?
For someone throwing around the idea that others don't know what's going on around them you sure show an astonished lack of knowledge about literally what has been going on in the past few decades.
Oh and wtf does ukraine have to do with the conversation at hand? It's a completed different set of circumstances that jabe literally no relation to each other. Jesus.
You literally weren't even aware of why people couldn't just up and leave the country- you literally don't know what's happening and yet are throwing nonanswers out there.
Wake me up when these problems get solved doing something I don't suggest.
I can wait.
Why are you so upset?
More personal attacks?
Calm down, man. You can argue without attacking each other.
You haven't argued. You've said stupid shit over and over. Wake me up when you've gotten smarter by some method I haven't suggested.
