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.

Yeah. Obviously, Mr. Starmer should take a sensible page from one of his predecessors.
And then nothing went wrong.
The good news is that instead of cheering for death and bombs at some one else’s expense, you can volunteer to fight with Ukraine, although they prefer people with experience I think they’re increasingly flexible these days.
Go well tough guy !
Something tells me they wouldn't wan a 47-year-old who has two severe illnesses he's dealing with and doesn't have the energy to walk more than about 30 minutes without having to rest for two hours. And also, I've never fired a gun. And I don't speak Ukrainian and I have no money for a plane ticket to get over there and I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons.
So no, I don't think that is the good news.
Also, I'm not cheering death. It is not my fault that Putin invaded Ukraine. I just think he needs to be stopped because he's a fascist dictator and letting fascist dictators take whatever countries they feel like is, in most people's eyes, a bad thing. Your mileage may vary.
As an American, you are 10000 miles away. Your military industrial complex is making bank, and you haven’t committed a single soldier.
Shut. The . Fuck. Up.
You do know I have control over none of that, right?
Also, I think you need to pay attention to our civility rules in the sidebar.
Also also, considering I am emigrating to Britain, I'll be a lot closer to Ukraine. Where are you?
As a Russian, you are losing this war. You don't get to have a vote, you'll get conscripted against your will and will be gone within 3 months.
Just a friendly reminder that in the real world, the country that cancelled its presidential elections this year and is conducting forced mobilization is Ukraine. In Russia, the presidential elections were held six months ago and the forced mobilization ended two years ago.
~.ml ~real world ~russian elections
Sure buddy. After all there are no conscripts in Kursk :))))))
Oh i thought that according to .world's lore it's NK soldiers fighting for the bowl of rice there... I'll have to educate myself better with your mythology. Anyway, in real world draftees were deployed there exactly because it wasn't warzone. Could you please provide some links to proof that they are actively used there right now?
Edit: well, i think that some things should be clarified for people who would be reading this in future. Conscription (draft) and mobilization is two different things. The first (conscription) means compulsory military training for young males of specific age which fit for military service. You shouldn't be used in active military action if you're conscrpited. Both Russia and Ukraine had draft before the war, with a military age from 18 till 27, inherited from Soviet Union. After the beginning of the war Russia has raised upper limit of its military age to 30 and Ukraine has abandoned draft as such. The second (mobilization) is forced military service with the goal of taking part in war action. Russia had one round of mobilization in the end of 2022. Ukraine has general mobilization non-stop from 2022. Both mobilizations caused crisises, although pretty different ones as Russia has its borders open while Ukraine has its borders closed for military fit males.
да конечно, гринтинг из сибири, товарищ
