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.

Sorry, how does not supporting the war in Ukraine make Spain's opposition to US and Israeli wars hypocritical? This makes no sense.
I didn't say it was hypocritical.
You just have a form of Tourette where instead of saying curses, you have to type about Ukraine or something?
No. Does it usually work for you to just throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks?
No, you see, I'm actually responding to the subject of what I respond to. It helps. You should try it, instead of bringing up your pet proxy war in a thread about the US and Spain.
Spains actions in general are very much the subject to the statement of "Spain going hard".
Say no more. I see ml users have escaped containment
Since when is Spain involved in the Ukraine war, my little chickenhawk?
Vete a la mierda, puto.
Holy shit you are dense. They aren’t. That's what we've been writing about. How they have not helped much at all.
Por favor, callate tu puta boca
OK, you are actually too stupid to function.
Post is about how Spain sees Trump as a greater threat to peace than Putin.
You - "WHY ISN'T SPAIN FIGHTING IN UKRAINE?"
I mean, I know you're not either, is that why you're so mad?
oh, y tu espanol es peor que la ano de tu madre, donde todos los muchachos lleva la leche, pendejo
The only one here that seems to be mad would be you.
It's really sad how you're unable to follow the flow of conversation.
Giving off some major moderator vibes. I wish everyone in your proximity good luck...
