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.

If I was in Ukraine, I'd get out.
You mean just like how all the Jews of Europe just "got out" as the Nazis rolled over country after country?
Because that sort of thing is so easy...
How is that relevant?
What was vague about my analogy? I'm pretty sure showing that people generally can't just up and leave a country en masse even if they'll die if they remain by giving an example of that during a similarly dire time is the opposite of vague.
The nazis argued that the Czechs did, just like you are arguing the Ukrainians did. Every argument you make for this war on Russia's side is an argument the nazis made for themselves. This I haven't seen anyone provide me anything else. Only ban me from ml's news for "trivializing nazism". Ironic because denying the nature of nazi foreign policy does a lot to trivialize it.
Neither did Ukrainians so what's your point?
You guys out in force today.
I wish Russians thought like you do.
If you are a man you are not allowed to leave. There are people who will promise to smuggle you out for many tens of thousands of dollars, but there's no guarantee they will succeed at doing it, or even seriously try.
I’m curious how you’d phrase it, there is a law in Ukraine and it is widely reported to apply to “men aged 18 to 60”. What phrasing would more accurately depict the current situation without having the problems you list? If you meant instead that the law itself is problematic, then I can understand that, it’s received some criticism for that side of things.
Blame Zelensky, I guess. I mean I don't, but it sounds like you should...
And yet the fact is that Zelensky made that order. You can consider it a transphobic and sexist order, but that is not the fault of anyone here.
Everyone does deserve respect and dignity*. The commenter above just meant that the martial law forces a part of the population to be used for conscription
*Until they break the social contract themselves. I know it wasn't implied in this case but it's a preventive mention so someone doesn't make any weird assumptions
One day old troll account
You’re a ban evader, modlog is full of your corpse accounts.
What does NATO want?
NATO wants Putin to not attack sovereign countries.
So NATO forced Putin to invade Ukraine?
I see, Putin is just doing what NATO wants without NATO forcing him.
If NATO wants war and there's a war that Putin started, either they forced him to do it or he's doing what they want unasked. Which is it?
Those would be the agreements over Ukrainian territory Putin had already invaded and annexed? Still seems like Putin was the one who started this in that case...
Russia never followed the Minsk agreements. One of the main thing in the agreements Russia had to do was pull out their troops from Ukraine, they never did.
You're not the smartest eh.
Too much of a pussy to actually post on your real account, huh?
Yup. That's why MATO is in adding so reign countries...
Your side needs smarter people if you want any chance of not wasting your time. You are not cutting it.
Blocked.
The account is a day old. It's going to be a throwaway account. The person running it is just gonna be on a new account the next time you see them.
A more-interesting mechanism might be one that has some kind of trust metric.
Reddit Enhancement Suite remembered how many upvotes and downvotes you'd given a user on past posts and comments and put a total of each by their username, so there was an immediate trust metric available.
There are ways to game that, like building up bogus accounts with a reputation for the specific purpose of agenda-based posting -- but if you've got a group using burner accounts to try to influence social media that has to at least pay for those accounts by producing past helpful and constructive content, I'd say that we're at least starting things off on the right foot. And there are counters to such gaming attempts.
