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.

The USA pretends to be a democracy, but in fact it is a criminal, pirate state, they steal what they want, kill whom they want. Fortunately, Trump's coming to power marked the beginning of the collapse of that anti-human state. Americans of all political persuasions will continue to shout "thank you for your service" to every military person responsible for killing civilians and invading land belonging to others just for the opportunity to make money. Fuck USA.
My Dad was a helicopter pilot in the Army during the late 50s/early 60s, stationed in South Korea. He's gone now, so I can't ask for clarification, but he used to tell the story about flying the President of South Korea around just before his re-election. It was the night before the election, and they had been told they wouldn't have to fly until the next day, so they were free to hit the bar.
As they were relaxing, they got the call to get back to the airfield to fly the president back to the Capital. Normally that would have be highly against regulations to go from freshly drinking to flying, but a new poll showed the president about to lose the election, so they wanted him back in the Capital when they announced they were suspending the election because, to quote my Dad quoting his orders, "the country wasn't ready for democracy, yet."
America has been manipulating international geopolitics from the beginning.
Not that the USA is in a great state in any way right now but this isn't exactly true. Citizens often oppose what a country is doing. For reference just look at how veterans of the Vietnam war were treated. Bullied, harassed and treated like garbage. The reality is far more complicated. Still shit though
It's a bit more than shit, shit is bribing FIFA to give you a peace prize. This is kidnapping a foreign leader and stealing a countries livelihood. It's NOT just a bit shit this is full blown state authorized terrorism. America is basically Russia.
Just about all governments pretend to be something they are not. And just about all of them are just tools for the wealthy. So fuck poloticians in general.
It is a democracy, you don't get to redefine terms randomly.
Lolz Venezuela is an authoritarian regime, you gonna defend russia and israel next?
Edit: link to united Nation reports calling this a authoriarian regime, on Wikipedia: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misi%C3%B3n_Internacional_Independiente_de_determinaci%C3%B3n_de_los_hechos_sobre_Venezuela
