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.

US people needs to do something about their leaders and top 1% - you are millions, how can you let this go on!?
It's deadly to get organized right now, so even getting a million people together would likely be met with rico prosecutions for sharing lunch with someone who passed out fliers. There is no freedom to organize even nonviolent opposition to the administration. The state has so many ways to relieve pressure that it'd take mass starvation and unemployment for people to do anything.
The billionaires have completely captured almost the entire opposition party, freezing out anyone who actually opposes their interests. There are no more democratic mechanisms for significant change, and most of us don't accept that reality. So many people still think that what they've been taught to do to impact change will work, but our votes are only acceptable if the candidate is oligarch approved. Even the people who actually stand against them are only allowed to convince people that there is still a chance.
So you ask how we can let this go on? It's because we'd need to embrace violence to change things, and most believe nonstate violence is wrong no matter how fascist the state.
feeling sorry for all of you non-trumpers over there- really that bad? 😢
The tragic part is that most Americans don't even know how much the walls have closed in around them.
Because if we stop working, we die.
Same reason Russia doesn't. Because it's real big...And the cops will kill you.
