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.

I wouldn't do that.
Okay let's game this out then. If you had a president who is stomping on your civil rights, tearing down the safety net, and crashing your economy - what is it that 'anyone would do'?
Play Nintendo. I like the character that wears green

Weegee

Can't say it on .world
Too true.
Wait really? Since when? I've gotta try it now:
Luigi Mangione
Nope, that seems to work
Just saying a person's name isn't the threshold, this isn't reddit. But no, calling for violence on .world typically results in mod action.
Oof.
Glad I left that instance. Mods need to grow some spines and stop censoring things just because people complain.
We already have the tools to ignore others.
Player 2 has entered the chat.
Siding with the Russians.
Good God, America.
Look at yourself, FFS!
Wow! These guys are so blinded by their love of privilidge.
Trust me, you’d rather be a Dem.
Fucking clueless.
Mate, that was during Trump's first term. Trust me, they're better off in Russia.
letting friends die for his proffit. hope he likes the smell of blood on his hands
Literally viewing the world like a EU4 map painting player would
So another way to read this is Trump admitting that he wants to invade Ukraine?
Yes when he sprung the bloody wedding type ambush on Zelensky. Right up to that moment his sycophants did not agree that he was on the fascist dictator's side, but since then they ofc all turned their coat because even their decades long chant of being world moral police it only took one self proclaimed Jesus to flip their whole purpose into violence. It's very sad and hard to belive
Someone should ask him what he would do if Russia took Alaska.
Well, you'd have to ask, was there a reason they took Alaska? They might have a good reason. Maybe they think there was something wrong with how we bought it from them. They might feel we took advantage of them. I mean, wouldn't you sympathize with someone that felt taken advantage of? They'll have a good reason. Russia wouldn't do anything on a whim. Not just to enrich themselves or establish a beachhead for the rest of the continental Americas; surely not.
Of course... even if it were a beachhead... Russia might have a good reason, and we like Russia, they're good friends. Maybe we should join together in some kind of union...
/s
PS: If someone was nodding their head along with the above, just know you're on the wrong side of... well, everything.
So he knew civilians would be killed by his actions and let it happen without any concern.
Trump says Putin says
"... with the intel that we gave to them."
Sure....it's what anyone would do to defeat their enemies.
No. Some would not invade and destroy a country and say "I want to end this war" while not honoring 24 ceasefires in a row continuing to bombard civilian targets.
Mexico shitting bricks rn
Good luck dealing with a Mexican insurgency.
I would heartily support one.
mexico??? you know the panama/canada/greenland talk yeah.
It's been a long standing right wing fantasy of sending the us military to deal with the cartels
Lol I like to toot that trump should deal with all these illegal immigrants by offering state hood to their countries but he won't. Why? Color scale.
Where are the shitty racist Ukrainian Brighton Beach Krasnov and Government of Putin supporters? They should volunteer for the Ukrainian infantry and see the results of their fucking vote.
the blue and yellow suit is beyond insulting. petty observation. shrug.
