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. 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.

It's always so strange to me that we don't see the same bombastic support from the tankies over news like this, surely this is another genius move which underscores the futility of Western sanctions, right? Another 5d chess move to bring Ukraine to it's knees, or dismantle the petrodollar, surely? 🙃
You think the kids that sat at the back of the classroom, saying learning math is a waste of time because they'll never need to use it, can form an opinion on this? They see the words "interest rate" and decide this news is completely irrelevant because they can't understand it.
you are aware russia hasnt been socialist for decades right?
russia is a failed proto-fascist state.
Yes, they're aware. They're also aware that ML types will support Russia regardless, because no evil is too great so long as it even mildly inconveniences the West.
thats because we cant compare the evil of the west with russia.
further entrenching US power is really bad for everyone not on the west.
Seems pretty good for all of the neighbour-states of the other powers
But you guys are always making everything about the US, further entrenching US soft power.
we are criticizing it.
They aren’t different today than they were then
now thats just false
Government controlled oligarchary
The USSR was both of those, you can say it was socialist under Lenin if you want but it was just a corporation trying to run everything
Hard for them to respond after they were all banned from Lemmy.world. Really easy to be smug when you have no opposition lol.
In case people are unaware, limmy.world defederated from the two major Tanky instances (Lemmygrad for Russian supporters and Hexbear for Chinese supporters). I'm not really sure why the above comment is downvoted. It's basically correct, though using the wrong terms.
.ml is plenty tankie too.
.ml is much more general leftist than tankie imo. There's plenty of talkies on there, but also many non-tankies. Definitely still a much higher rate than irl tho.
Ml is communist and should be banned
Lmao
"Everything I don't like is ~~woke~~ tankie"
They're aware but they still foam at the mouth over imaginary enemies and will downvote anything that stands counter to their crusade.
Thanks for the background. I knew there was some defederation going on but didn’t realize it was so political. Somewhat disappointing tbh
Bro people is with the jews now, they provide more impactful videos
Are the tankies in the room with you right now?
This joke's getting as stale as the "attack helicopter" shit your alt-right counterparts say.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yes, that was clear from your previous comment
Sad.
How helpful.
Not on this instance since defederation, thankfully. Doesn’t mean they cease to exist
Defederation? What happened?
Lemmy.world defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad which are the two largest tankie instances. Defederation is essentially an instancewide ban. In practice this means that any users on Lemmy.world cannot see any posts, comments, or communities from either of those instances.
That explains the substantial improvement in my mood lately.
It happened quite a while ago, but I'm glad you're feeling better.
For those who want the full experience, lemm.ee is an alternative.
