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.

Unfortunately farage is the only one running for popular reform, nevermind they are full of shit on changing anything for the better we all know the voting population doesn't know that.
People know they are being screwed, and labour, the "good" option, is cancelling the magna carta and instituting total internet surveillance, masterbaitorbases of every page you have considered whacking off to, and secret social scores by palantir type companies. Illegalizing protest, bad faith terrorism designations and bad faith false equivolence of protesters with the proscribed group, disallowing of legal defenses to the protest laws, what else, they've done more damage than the tories in the last ten years.
There is zero chance starmer keeps the far right allied to the us president out, and zero chance they restore the former glory of the republic before oligarchs ratfucked it.
Popular reform would take it, but we don't have that, and labour will make sure corbyn types don't succeed in doing that in a new party, because preventing popular reform from the "left" is their raison de etre, not beating the other parties.
The fascists, far right, allied with the US and Russia, plan on fixing elections everywhere. So them getting in could be a rather final problem. It's not just a few years of bad leadership, it's decades of the worst leadership, across the west.
Seriously, labour is the Enemy.
You write that like there can only be one enemy. Labour are being rubbish just now, but Reform UK the party of Putin would be worse. Reform is the biggest enemy.
Obviously yes, but people on these threads think that labor are the good guys and not the controlled opposition to the oligarchy that is throwing us into the arms of the Reform Party that believe it or not plans on fixing elections just like the United States whether they know it yet or not.
It is the exact thing in the United States with the democrats, in France with their bullshit parties, and the netherlands, everywhere. The far right is the only reform option and Society is degenerating into plutocracy and everyone knows they're being screwed but not necessarily by whom.
This is a fucking shit take when the current poll leaders are reform.
Labour are a bit crap, but reform are truly awful. You sound like the idiots who thought Kamala was the worse choice.
Cancelling the magna carta, freedom, surrendering your populations to big tech companies and putting Thiel's palantir and their ilk in charge of making secret social scores on you from every scrap of information, IS the danger. You surrendered.
All that shit's gonna come home to roost if Farage gets elected. Just like it has in the US because they let Trump win. Twice!
