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.

"Cockwomble" is a recent favorite of mine, and seems like an apt descriptor here
Hey Brits, take a cue from Canada and shut your fascists down.
He's definitely taking Russian money, so with any look they'll lock him up.
The problem is Labour are being a bit spineless and are concerned about the investigation being treated as a political assassination attempt. I don't know why they're bothering to concern themselves as reform voters aren't exactly facts oriented people and would claim that anyway. Frankly Labour just need to get a grip.
It's pretty poor showing for a human's rights lawyer I must say.

There we go. There's the millionaire man of the people we expected.
First Greenland, then Canada, then Iceland, then Ireland, then the UK.
First Venezuela, then Panama and Costa Rica, then Colombia, then Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and then Mexico.
These are the twisted and greedy ambitions of Donald Trump and the imperialists who prop him up, and the world must cop the fuck on to them before it's too late. He'd take Japan and South Korea if he could.
All the while we will see Russia continue to attempt to rebuild the Soviet Union, China expand into Asia, increasing wars between opposing nations in the Middle East, war between India and Pakistan, revolutions in South America, and who knows what kind of fucked up shit in Africa.
The peace and security of the world is at stake right now.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Trump saw the Animaniacs song and took it as a checklist.
Tracks perfectly well with him and Dump being Putin's henchmen and doing anything to dismantle and corrode the EU and NATO.
Fucking put a bullet in both of the scumbags.
Fricking Farage.
Well, we already know that he is as big an idiot as Trump. Nothing new here.
No, Trump is almost supernaturally stupid but Farage isn't. He's a nasty, evil, racist piece of shit but he's not a moron.
World would be better place if America and their genocidal colony fucked off.
Sure, Nige.
