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.

Good job pushing irrelevant pro-CCP propaganda into an article and comment section that had literally nothing to do with "America bad"
It’s CPC, only the American propaganda media call it ccp for obvious reasons (they’re still obsessed with the Soviets (CCCP)) lol 😂
Ackchually it's 中国共产党
The translation could go either way, which is why it was both CCP and CPC before CPC was the officially commented version. The old one has just stuck around since it's a grammatically equivalent moniker, and nobody really cares. It's not even disrespectful.
As I said before only the American fascism and it’s propaganda apparatus call it that way
Well, yes, it is the common term used in america. I believe I covered the quirk of transliteration that lead to it's use. Ergo, american-english affiliated media will likely use the term used in america. Other media will, obviously, use the transliteration common to their culture.
If your best argument counter is "haha yu put letters in the wrong order!!1", you seriously need to work on your material better. That's just low effort, man.
It’s not letters in the wrong order little fella, the order of the words is important for the meaning of the message
ok
My guy, the top level comment was making a joke about Genghis Khan/Mongolia's history, and the article doesnt even mention China. You're the one who magically interpreted it with zero basis as an attack on Dear Leader's sensibilities.
If your allegiance were any more transparent, you'd be a piece of glass. Please find your brain sometime soon, it misses you. This thread is over and my block list grows by one!
Dude.... what? China is very much a belligerent superpower. Your whataboutism abt the US has literally nothing to do with the topic of discussion as it has no bearing on this geopolitical situation, whereas China DIRECTLY NEIGHBORS the nation in question, is routinely aggresive towards western-allied nations like the Phillipines (or momgolia), and tends to side with Russia over western institutions. Are you being purposely obtuse, or are you just that dense?
Whoa, slow down there buddy. You think that dude can even understand those words?
Irony.
Whataboutism at its finest!

Do they call you idiots Tankies because your brains are full of irradiated steel?
Better tankie than American faschie
You're both one and the same.
Your ignorance just told me you must be American lol 🤣 communism = far LEFT ideology whereas fascism = far RIGHT ideology so they’re basically OPPOSITE ideologies!!! You American ppl are hilarious, please keep entertaining us lol 😂😂😂
I remember when I was 11 years old...
They're the same level to me who's watching from the sidelines.
Both mindsets are social cancers supporting colonialism and autocrats.
Two things can be true/bad at once.
Be better
Supporting colonialism like the American fascists you mean ? 🤔
If you are going to attempt to spread misinformation about the Uyghur Genocide not being a genocide, I'm going to tell you right now as a moderator to not start with that.
Why hasn't West Taiwan gone to war over Taiwan and the South China Sea? Because they are a Paper Tiger and know they would be embarrassed by the US Navy. That's why the US shows up to every "minor dispute", to keep the peace and support their allies. Additionally, China has recently been extremely belligerent concerning the border with India, which is a continuation of what has been happening since the 1960's.
Historically, you've also forgotten the CCPs military actions against Tibet, Vietnam, Cambodia, South Korea, and the many border conflicts with Russia/USSR.
As for genocides, it is very convenient for you to forget about the Uyghurs...
Lol at the delete.
To be fair, it was the moderator that deleted their message, not the poster. Mods are always stifling discussion around here. Feels like Reddit.
Dude, he went full genocide denial. Nothing productive there. Full CCP propaganda troll.
.ml is leaking again
Porque no los dos
False.
Also, you have more downvotes than the factcheckbot 🤡
Well they’re both bad and the world would be better off without those countries which have a high percentage of people liking authoritarian leaders.
Uh-oh, sounds like it's time for another Yuan dynasty!
Folks who clapped like seals at the formation of NAFTA and the EU are forever mad and extremely nationalist the moment Ulaanbaatar and Beijing start engaging in a little cross-border economic development. The Mongolian Central Corridor has the opportunity to dramatically improve the livelihoods of millions of people, and the western response is to bankroll domestic terrorists to blow that shit up.
Of course, these are the same idiots and assholes who staunchly defend a 9/11 every day in the Gaza strip. The Online American is far and away the most propagandized creature on earth.
