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.

lol ah yes, we should simply cede to a dictator's territorial imperial annexation by... Weakening defense budgets? Remind me how the US annexed Iraq and Afghanistan as Russia did with Crimea, parts of Georgia, Chechyna?
And no, NATO is how you invert the course. Russia is too pussy to confront NATO's Article 5. So bring Ukraine into NATO.
So why don't you go tell Putin to cut his military budget?
This guy... Apparently thinks we should have rolled over when Hitler invaded Poland and the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Edit: Observe below how this user hops around with tangential points and half-truths, all the while avoiding the heart of the matter: They believe we should just give in to the dictator — whether it's the Hitler of old or the Putin of recent. Further observe how they have no response to the fact that NATO countries have never been directly attacked by Russia, giving proof to the power of a Defensive Alliance.
Who is we? Are you ukrainian? are you russian? are you american?
"defense budget" is a misleading name for weapons designed to attack, destroy and kill humans.
NATO is a terrorist organization on pair with russia, lead by corrupted people who seek war as a tool to get more power and wealth.
Let's talk about the present, no need to bring the past back

Cope harder. You’re either working for Russia or a useful idiot. Same thing in the end, really
I just called out NATO and russia as terrorists organization in the previous post and you claim that i work for them. No offense but if there's anyone who seem an idiot that's you and your conclusions.
For now, but KremlinGPT will only get better, unfortunately.
