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.

Uh? Wth are you talking about? Lula and his party were involved in a corruption scheme that stole billions of reais, that man is nowhere near 'good', his only saving grace is that bolsonaro is worse than cancer
Well maybe you should know the following:
Lula's legal cases have been largely discredited as political persecution rather than genuine corruption: the UN Human Rights Committee concluded that his trials violated due process and the presumption of innocence, the Brazilian Supreme Court annulled his conviction in 2021 after finding the presiding judge Sergio Moro was biased and lacked jurisdiction, and Moro himself later ran against Lula as a political candidate — revealing a clear conflict of interest that undermined the entire prosecution.
They only nullified the evidence not because the evidence was fabricated, it was all true, but because of the way the evidence was obtained. Billions were stolen from the people so AT BEST Lula and his party didnt know anything about it and is so incompetent that didnt notice (Dilma was even director of petrobras during it) and at worst he was the mastermind behind it all.
And I know all of it, I literally live here.
EDIT: Lula literally confessed to making use of a renovation to the country-side house he used on video to a judge because he didn't know that qualifies as corruption, funny as fuck
Still, no conviction and from the looks of it far better president than his american counterparts.
You dont know what you have until you loose it.
Look at Argentina if you want a good example.
Voting for the 'terrible but still slightly better than the piece of shit' is literally how the US got Trump. The left can and NEEDS to do better in Brazil, I want a Bernie not a Binden (tho I do think binden is better than lula)
My Brazillian brother, look at the numbers of Lula's governments, both 2003, 2007, and now in 2022. Look at GDP (pib), inflation, purchasing power, real growth of the economy, inequality numbers, price of the dollar, all of that. And you'll have your answer if Lula is only a little better.
