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 Hungarian leader traveled to Florida on Friday for talks with Donald Trump during a visit in which he did not meet with anyone from the Biden administration.
World leader visits foreign country to visit a presidential candidate and not the actual president. Clearly taking sides and visibly supporting a candidate. I'm sure Orban would have been just fine if Biden visited his opponent in 2022 when he was running for re-election.
~~World leader~~ Dictator visits foreign country to ~~visit a presidential candidate~~ conspire with another wanna-be dictator to overthrow it
FTFY.
Ah yes, the perfect way to prove that you're not a dictator is to do the exact same thing that an insecure dictator would do.
Orbán: I’m not a dictator, I’m an autocrat, get it right.
tbf, getting yelled at is probably a major part of an envoy's job description.
I’ve read like, half of The Left Hand of Darkness and I’m pretty sure this is correct
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hungary summoned the US ambassador over comments by the US president, Joe Biden, who said the prime minister, Viktor Orbán, wants a dictatorship.
The Hungarian leader traveled to Florida on Friday for talks with Donald Trump during a visit in which he did not meet with anyone from the Biden administration.
Rights groups and European capitals have repeatedly raised concerns that Orbán and his Fidesz party have undermined checks and balances in Hungary.
Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister, dismissed the American president’s words as “lies”.
In a press conference on Tuesday, he said the American ambassador in Budapest, David Pressman, had been summoned and met with a senior Hungarian official earlier in the day.
In an interview with Hungarian state-controlled media after the visit, the prime minister called Trump “a man of peace”.
The original article contains 471 words, the summary contains 133 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
oh no.
can we just enlarge lake balaton so that it fills entire area of hungary
No I'm sure most of the people are ok. Just throw Orban in the lake. Metaphorically of course. With a metaphorical boat anchor tied on.
Yeah let's drown an entire population because the government is rotten, sounds like a great idea. /s
Just need it for a few sold out politicians. The rest are cool.
So nobody votes for these politicians?
Do you think everyone in the US should drown because we voted for Trump in 2016?
That's a really shitty statement.
