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.

"Russian video 'shows Black Sea fleet commander alive'"
Ah yes, case closed! Russian's would never lie and always announce their losses.
Not to say Ukraine isn't exaggerating but one propaganda doesn't cancels out another propaganda.
Exactly like the US and Ukriane claiming Ukriane is winning. They are being funded and provided weapons from nearly every western country and can't seem to fight off Russia? They don't want Ukraine to win, they want to prolong it for the benefit of capital
I'm not going to deny NATO has a strong interest in tying up and depleting Russia's fighting power as long as possible but I have strong doubts about Ukraine not making gains.
War sucks and "winning" is a complicated concept. You can lose most battles and still "win", especially during an invasion. If Ukraine can keep up the fight and outlast Russia's will/ability to fight (or outlast Putin), they can "win".
I'm leftist, but Russia today doesn't represent any leftist ideals. It's a country run by ultra-rich thugs stealing their country rich in wealth and now of blood. In the West, we are all sorts of fucked up but it's the lesser evil right now. Please consider not supporting murderous thieves, that doesn't mean supporting the capitalist thieves.
Where in my comment does it indicate I support Russia? Criticizing Ukriane does not equate to support for Russia. I'm pointing out that the same people claiming we were winning in Afghanistan and Iraq are claiming Ukraine is winning now. The same people that's telling us the economy is good, despite our reality that it isn't.
Took you for a Vatnik with the USSR flag. But there's nothing wrong with some healthy skepticism and of course, both sides are cranking out propaganda.
