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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Oh you're just upset the anti war organization is against war
“the war in Ukraine, which… the U.S. and NATO then chose to prolong”
this quote literally upgrades them into pro colonialist organization that can't seem to choose the lesser evil.
noam chumsky levels of stupidity. They have the first russian invasion of ukraine to study from the early 1900s to know it is a war of imperialist aggression against a weaker neighbor to fully remove its sovereignty.
literally them saying "We wanted russia to takeover ukraine".
Promoting a laissez-faire imperialist-appeaser agenda isn't anti-war in any meaningful sense. The head of codepink has 47 million dollars of assets: https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images/2022/841/618/2022-841618483-202343209349101304-F.pdf - in local currency she'd be a billionaire twice. If you ask me, the road to international peace would start with a worldwide worker revolution, overthrowing people like her who dictate poor peoples to give up fights against an oil rig trying to conquer us and force us to go conquer somebody else, just so that she looks good in the media. The only difference I see between her and the likes of Trump's donors is that she currently has less money and targets a different audience in social media. Behavior is the same.
Their entire stance is the usa should focus money from the military to actually helping people, of course they're going to be against any additional.
Oh cool they have a bit of money so, what the fuck does that have to do with the rest of your rant?
The stance of Code Pink is to let invaders conquer people, so they can label it "peace". Because dictatorships are "not our enemy" - what Code Pink website says. You conveniently try not to see you're talking down to an actual person from the invaded country whose defense Code Pink is campaigning to defund. What helps people here (Ukrainians are people in your eyes, right?) are many things, but I'll name three: bringing manufacturing back to Europe to reduce the dependency on Chinese imports (that fund the invasion), sending us weapons to defend ourselves from Russia (who've already committed genocide here before, are trying it again right now, and will gladly continue doing it if they win), and fighting for worker rights internationally (not by defunding our defense in the short term).
Still upset those against war don't want war to continue or be materially supported by their government. Then go on tangent on Europe must rise again?
At this point I wonder if you think anyone else qualifies as people as you've insulted the rest
