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.

Agreed. I appreciate a lot of Russian culture, the use of matrices, etc and some of their discoveries and all as much as the next guy, but it's sad to see the way that their government is going about with things.
Fuck it half the problem is that straight people and breeders consistently expect themselves to not be held accountable for being assholes. Being the majority should not mean you are free from consequences when you cause harm. Love returns threefold.
I honestly could not care if there was another world war at this stage. People who claim to give a fuck about humanity as a whole really need to start justifying why they don't deserve a war and actually try to fix their own shit or mediate stuff.
Consider that if someone is aware they're a minority and attempt to do their best to get level without looking to do harm to the majority status quo, if they know that they could do better, they're giving you an opportunity to step up to the plate, and as for their morals ,at least they're standing up for themselves, even better if they're standing up for others by trying to teach and lead by example.
It's like, how is it you can seriously have the audacity to ask for good things for anyone, yourself, society or your own children when you treat people like such shit that they literally choose to leave.
It's like people asking why people leave Saudi, Russia or China etc, and you just only have to look at how ridiculously stupid and pansy the way they treat their children, saying things like they wish that they suffer for being disobedient, for being gay or for being bisexual or for not having a haircut, or for driving a car, or for not following their advise. Anyone with half a braincell would see it as a petty and weak attempt to feminise and handicap someone into compliance with the status quo simply for something they can't change.
It's like, would I try and punish a woman by dropping a nail under the tyre or cutting the line for their brake pedal for not knowing how to change their brakepads before their wof is due? No I would not, because it's dumb as fuck and an idiotic attempt to try teach someone a lesson that very transparently demonstrates bad faith and a sadistic desire to assert dominance more than a real commitment to someone's well being and long term future.
This comment is a minor masterpiece of rambling disjointed incoherence. I couldn't do better if I tried. Were you roaring drunk when you wrote it? Do you even remember writing it?
Look at Russia. Now imagine that Putin is probably straight.
