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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Why isn't the slave grateful we give them just enough food to survive!?
That was the Biden tactic, because Biden was afraid what Putin would do if he lost.
Trump immediately stopped all aid to Ukraine, hoping it would starve Ukraine to collapse, so Putin could get his wish.
Fortunately all other allies scrambled to increase aid to fill the void from USA pulling back completely.
And now without the limitations USA put on the use of their weapons, Ukraine is doing better than when they had support from USA.
While Trump claims he is unhappy, and maybe will do something in 14 days.
Trump is a loser and a fraud, and very possibly a Russian puppet.
Lol ukraine isn't even starving are you talking about gaza instead. Even in gaza we are not giving enough food to people getting exterminated.
Yes they should be grateful that we are giving them billions of dollars and sanctionning russia more than any other terrorist country. Ukraine would have already fell without our support
The comment you're responding to is talking about "food" in a sarcastic way I believe. We are indeed giving Ukraine just enough "food" (ammunition, armored vehicles, AA systems) just not to capitulate but not to win.
Do you want to go to a full war with Russia where we send hundred thousands of soldiers? Would you do the same for Palestine which is in an even more dire situation then Ukraine. Sorry but are doing already a lot of things to support Ukraine that we will never do to any other countries ever
No I don't want to go to war with Russia, but I believe we don't do enough for Ukraine, nor we do enough for Palestine (we do basically nothing for them) unfortunately
What doing enough for Ukraine would be?
enough would be if the us and russia both honoured the agreement to back them up if attacked in return for denuclearizing but both are backstabbing liar countries so what did they expect.
Canada and Europe didn't say they will stop the support and will add new sanctions so i don't know what you complains about
USA and Russia are both not living up to their promise. That has nothing to do with what everybody else are doing.
I think your brain is malfunctioning.
Your brain is malfunctionning, i didn't talk about the usa
You were changing the subject to something completely irrelevant to the post you responded to.
Also your earlier comment about whether we want to go to war with Russia is way way out there crazy. It's a strawman argument with zero connection to reality, or any comments about helping Ukraine more.
Also you mixing Gaza into this is irrelevant to the argument for the need to help Ukraine more. You might as well begin mixing the need to lower CO2 arguments into it. Which is true but irrelevant.
Your brain is clesrly malfunctionning because i am on topic and not changing the topic like you claim
Yes. Fascism must be stamped out internationally, and they're in hilariously bad condition after sending millions of soldiers to die in Ukraine. They lose an average estimated 5,800 more soldiers per month. This has been going on for years. Now (or soon) is definitively the best time to strike back and this opportunity will not arise again.
Yes. Fascism must be stamped out internationally. This one might actually be a fight, but the only reason it would be one is because of the massive amount of funding and arming that we did for Israel.
Yes to both. Sign me up.
