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 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.

Starmers labour needs no help from maga to throw next election. They completely managed to bugger everything up themselves. The shit they come out with is beyond ridiculous, sure there are a couple of delivered manifesto items that are actually helpful to general public, but predominantly they are just conservatives lite already. Most swing supporters won't stay with them come next election. No help from maga needed there.
I can't tell if New Labour is as bad as the Democrats yet, but boy do they also seem determined to serve the interests of the Epstein class, at the direct and immediate expense of everyone else.
I don't think they are. They certainly suck in many ways, however currently it seems most likely the shit show is a result of terrible and out of touch advisors to the top positions rather than actual malice.
Us in Latin America: "First time? “
Hardly. US has been meddling in our elections for a long time. The meddling just hasn't been as direct or as kinetic as in your cases.
I really hope that we will unite with the Americas against the US and their oppressive government. The EU has been too passive for too long.
Ask them about Stanley Greenberg.
Paywall.
You'd think one look at the state of America would be enough to render their propaganda completely meaningless. You'd really think. You would really have those thoughts running through your head. But here comes reality with a steel chair to give you a concussion.
The issue really is one of detecting this interference quickly and calling it out. Brexit passed on the back of foreign election interference, but the evidence is only coming out many years later. If you don't detect it and call it out, people take it as legitimate discussion of their countrymen.
I don't think there's anything maga could do that's worse than what Starmer is doing to himself.
The German word for Trump is "Hurensohn".
What do they mean by destroy censorship?
Being held accountable for racist and openly hateful fascist speech.
It also means introducing censorship of all messages and movements that don't support fascism.
Destroy state oversight of corporate oversight of media and communication.
