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.

Thanks, universe, for not letting me spawn in the USA...
You’re just jealous of our freedoms
*fiefdoms
We have freedoms?
Yes, you are free to work. Now get back to it if you don't want to starve or be harassed out of society and die homeless and alone with nobody caring.
Free to shop at the company store.
You're free to pay me for the privilege to zuck deez nutz.
As a USian that just got back from world travel, the only freedom we have here that’s different from many places is the freedom from nasty-ass tobacco smoke EVERYFUCKINGWHERE. It’s the only freedom we have that’s better at home than elsewhere.
Also the weed and beer are way better here.
I do think it's ironic that a chunk of the places that have universal healthcare still have a massive smoking problem.
I can't help but wonder in a silver-linings-to-shit-stains kind of way if part of the reason smoking was curbed as much as it was in the states (aside from successful votes/lobbying) is because it's too expensive to die from.
I'm betting the biggest factor in smoking falling out of favor is the taxes most places started placing on a pack.
I dont know, opiates arent cheap and you guys are nailing that shit. Your smokes did absolutely jump in price in a few years, it went from bringing loads home to bringing enough over to smoke on my trip.
hey now, at least we dehumanize and tuck our embarrassing drug addicts into the lower class neighborhoods and under bridges were they belong so we can ignore them easier! /s
US beer? As in beer in the US is better than beer somewhere else? Where did you travel to, Pakistan?
Did you miss out on the fact that you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting multiple microbreweries in the USA? I swear that one of my locals has a microbrewery inside of the microbrewery…
Yeah the microbrewery scene is where it's at. American macrobrews blow.
Everywhere has microbreweries, anywhere someone can say the beer sucked can be replied to the same.
Lmao I guess a Muslim country would be even worse, but no the two that stood out to me as sucking compared to home were Italy and France. I fully admit that I only had what was available at grocery stores. The prices in Europe definitely beat the pants off of US prices though. (Except I guess American swill like Coors or Steel Reserve etc. but I’m not sure those could even legally qualify as beer in the EU lmao)
I'm sorry but Canada has clean air acts, great craft beer, and way better weed (on average). I say this as someone who grew up in the US
Yea I can’t disagree with any of that (although I am a wimp in the cold).
it's 18°C here, and I'm frozen. No way i'd ever survive in Canadia.
Free dumbs.
Nah. They resent us because we don't have ~~high quality, affordable healthcare~~ sOcIaLiSm.
The politics suck here, but there are far worse places. At least it's not South Sudan.
There are only two places on Earth:
Countries called the US
Countries the US is planning to invade next
If you think colonialism is unique to the US I have a continent to sell you.
Is it Africa?
Ooof, sorry that one’s actually only available in our combo deal.
Nah, I'm from Germany... The US would never.... You know.... We are friends.... //throws history book out of the window//.....
Honestly, the history books will make America friendlier towards you. After all, where do you think the Nazis got their inspiration?
You've got some catching up to do then.
Pink is countries the UK has invaded. Purple is everyone else.
Wow, the labour government needs to pick a fight with Belarus.
