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.

I admit:
I didn't have "Milei fascism resulting in donkey meat as an Argentinian food staple" on my bingo card.
Right? Argentina having a beef shortage is weirdo bizarre, like Russia running out of vodka or Saudi Arabia out of oil.
There is no beef shortage. It's just about beef being too expensive. Also, I've lived in Argentina my entire life and I've never seen "donkey meat" or heard of anyone who has.
Supongo que es en el campo o uno de los lugares mas pobres. La liberalización de la economía de esta forma siempre lástima a los de bajo recursos. Si la carné de rez en el extranjero gana mas entonces hay un costo de oportunidad en elegir no exportar la. Irónicamente eso causa inflación ya que el mercado domésticos tiene que compensar por la oportunidad. Dudó que esto se vea en Buenos Aires.
Who said I was referring only to Buenos Aires? I've travelled all over Argentina and have friends in multiple cities. Nome of them has ever seen or heard of "donkey meat". Regarding exported meat, it's known that the best meat in Argentina is exported, not consumed locally.
You don't know what you're missing out on!
Or America running out of mass shootings
Fun fact, Vodka is swill, and has always been owned by the Tsar that has a virtual monopoly on it. The rich in Russia don't drink that shit.
Vodka is the drink of the proletariat
Molotov the monopolies
Vodka is the drink of suckers feeding the Tsar, or president as the case may be. Brew your own. Or go to hell.
Molotov idk, meet luigi.
Unionizing distilleries is not a crazy concept
You think the russian government will allow unionization? They would kill/enslave them all.
Do it yourself, in secret.
But yes, Unionize.
No, fuck the Russian government and every other capitalist hellhole
No shit?
So you just want to go online and shit on everyone I guess? No thanks
