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.

This stinks very badly of a western interference campaign
The CNE declared Maduro winner, but has not published the official election records and blocked most of the observers and most neighbouring countries are refusing to accept the result without seeing the detailed records of the election by municipality. How is this western interference? Maduro is taking everyone for fools, but it's always the west's fault.
When it's Trump, or Bolsonaro, or Orban stealing an election and refusing to go, do you know what you are going to say?
I get that person's instincts. The West has tried to coup Venezuela like twice in the last couple of years alone. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a coup by the west or corruption by the government, so I'm going to see wait until I see more evidence from either side.

Not even close, lol.
You dont believe that Juan Guaido and his interim government was a us backed coup attempt?
No. I don't.
If even CNN is forced to admit it and you still deny it, you are kind of beyond reason.. being honest there is not a source you would accept, is there?
I'm just waiting to see what Petro, Lula and Boric say about the radio silence from Caracas. Obviously Xi and putin already recognized it without evidence, because they couldn't care less about democratic legitimacy and they will benefit from a civil war in Venezuela.
People need to understand that the new cold war is not Commies vs Fascists. It is between rule of law and popular support vs despotism trying to take us back to the 1700s and this cuts across left-right and is happening inside every democratic country.
