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.

The far right vow to "Make Spain Great Again".
...where have i heard this super nifty phrase before???
Oh yeah, lets march back to where they would pick you up in the middle of the night, handcuff, blindfold then chuck you off a cliff.
Great times.
As if our little town just didn't lay to rest the remains of some such people less than a year ago.
Exactly, this. It's very worrying
The idiots of Vox literally copy their ideology from the US far right. They are so extremely uncapable of thinking by themselves that they're trying to capitalize on transphobia in a country that is heavily supportive of trans rights:
As if that wasn't enough, the mainstream right-wing party is trying to appeal to them even though their average voter isn't that deranged out of some weird fear that they actually are.
Transphobia isn't their main point lmao
Ik you only hear about it from second-hand sources, but their main points are usually criticizing the current government and the equality ministry, which despite its name could be qualified as little more than a glorified poster printer (printing posters with a huge budget is probably the only effective thing it does, as there has been no genuine advance in equality done by them)
However, it's true that they also criticize the "trans law", which allows people to almost instantly change their legal gender, with some disgusting comments
We all heard them bring up different minorities they want to criminalize out of the blue at the debates for no good reason, no need for second hand sources for that.
I've heard the debates uncut and in the original language and nowhere it says "we must criminalise this minority"
Originally it comes from England, but yeah
The English Made America Great Again?
Or rather, Make England Great Again. It's an old slogan, and it's been used a lot.
