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.

Oof.
Doesn't Finland have UBI though? They've also basically solved homelessness.
Yeah there's support. But Finlands economy is really stagnant right now. Also they border Russia. And the country is politically swinging to the right like most places today
The grass is always greener lol
Fair points.
I'm not saying you're wrong, just that unemployment means something very different in more extreme capitalist countries. :)
Oh yeah I'd rather be Finnish than American right now haha
How are you and your fellow Finns with expats? I have dreamed of learning Finnish and trying to get a visa
Expats? You mean immigrants?
They both kind of mean the same thing
No, Expats is a made-up word.
All words are made-up, that's how they work! /j
Made up as in a fake word with no real weight, kinda like rizz or skibidi
I'm not Finnish but I tried to move there a few years back. Finland is sadly quite xenophobic.
I think all the Nordic states are hard to get in to as well. Oh well.
Yeah my life dream is to live in Iceland but short of marrying someone there it's probably never happening
All really cold countries have solved homelessness...
Come to Canada lmao
You are objectively wrong.
They have solved homelessness, minus approximately 1,000 willfully homeless people. (Though I like to think of them as Nomads.)
Suuuuuuure
Finland has unconditional housing lol
& it also has conscription
Us sharing a 1000+ km long border with russia might have something to do with that.
And even then, military service isn't actually required, you can do a siviilipalvelus (lit. "Civilian service") instead.
The only thing I disagree with there is they force you to cut your hair lol
Guess how much gun violence there is in Finland thanks to mandatory basic training
Gun control can do that
