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.

Could, be false flag, or russia testing the waters or truly a wayward drone. Whichever was the original cause, russia will gauge the reaction to see how much they can attack "Nato" targets and get away with it. If they find that drone strikes they can cast doubt into its orgins will go unpunished, there will be alot of "wayward" drones in Europe.
I'm so confused by all 4 of the comments in this thread having poor English, grammar and syntax. I completely get that English isn't everyone's 1st language, but very similar errors from four different users in a single comment chain about international affairs just seems kinda sus to me
It's still the case that users from the US dominate most online spaces, so illiteracy is to be expected. I wouldn't consider it suspicious on its own.
Well, I for one learned english from reading comics and grammer from a "how to grammer for dummies", so english is my first and only language but I know im bad at it. I learned if the person reading can correct it, it means they understood the meaning enough. Sorry for bad english.
Which similar errors did you notice? I didn't see anything specific, but I'm curious
This space has a larger proportion of non-americans than older social media sites, if that helps explain anything
The similarities are that they're generic errors, nothing specific. Extra spaces, missing apostrophes, incorrect homophones being used, inappropriate comma usage, missing capitalization. It just seems off in a consistent but subtle way
When it comes to news involving Russia, I assume most people responding to me are Ukrainians using google translate or a similar language translator.
That’s a waste, when they could just write to you in your native Russian
That's a fair assessment
Hard no, it's a weirdly biased assumption and you're both silly.
I suck at spelling and grammar becsuse I moved to a different continent when I was young and started on a very different school curriculum, even just yesterday I told my mom it was right not to push me ahead a year when they didn't know where to put me because I still feel like I missed stuff.
