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.

The solution is immigration.
IMO this is more of short-term solution (having some immigration is always good though). All these countries with declining populations need to fix their societies to make it actually desirable for people to have kids. Immigration by itself won't work forever (assuming the countries people are emigrating from fix their problems), but it will give them time to fix things. Problem is most of these countries seem completely incapable of actually fixing their problems, so...
Yes and it always and ever will be immigrants who lead the charge forward to try new ideas, start businesses, movements and inject new vital life into societies. To argue otherwise is to deny the basic wisdom inherent to genetics that diversity is the conjugation of strength and stability.
If immigration was the solution to everything, the US would be a paradise. It's necessary but not enough.
All these epstein files detailing the convoluted Israel psy ops and pedophile billionaire corruption that goes unpunished for decades makes it clear that the type of hell the United States are going through is purposely manufactured by something entirely else than immigration.
I mean you can't turn education into an expensive business and expect your population to develop critical skills and historical context out of thin air.
The point isn't that immigration is bad, it's that assuming that immigration will magically solve everything is just incredibly naive.
The problem is ecological overshoot. The solution is degrowth.

That is tangential to the idea of immigration.
If anything immigration helps with degrowth as younger people can be introduced into a society without needing to raise the global population.
Unless you are an eco fascist and just want people to starve and die to get the world you want?...
Fully agree. It's a buffer to make a return to sustainable more practical, but the goal is a lower population.
For the record my frame of view is the planet and all life on it.
No, most certainly not.
