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, we are still finding out the consecuences of the idiotic economical decisions of the prior government.
And do you think the economic decisions of the current government are going to make things better?
Well. They changed from idiotic to completely deranged. So no
Economically, i hope so. Socially, it depends on how fast we can adjust... and we are not famous for being adaptive, so I expect that it will ultimately crush as all.
I feel for you guys (Argentinians) because almost every politician in the past has led you to this mess - and now you’ve elected a genuine nutter because, I guess, people felt they had nothing to lose. Good luck. I hope you guys get your country together soon.
There is a common trope in Argentina citing and old quote, i think its from Maistre. Los pueblos tienen los gobiernos que se merecen, ~"Countries have the governments that they deserve". We surely deserved the krichners and now we also deserve this lunatic.
A social worker I know asked a villero (far lower class) who was he voting for prior to the general elections, and he answered for Milei. The social worker then replied that with Milei, the villero will have nothing to eat. He replied that he doesn't have anything to eat now, but with milei, you won't either.
Argentina has been broken for a long time
What that Villero said to your friend has helped me understand the rise of this type of politician all across the world far better. If it wasn’t so sad it’d be funny. I hope you get to fix your country one day and all your people then live a good life.
