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.

Why is China included in your Axis of Evil? Their leadership might be shit right now but they haven’t started a war and nor are they anything like North Korea. I can visit Shanghai and have a lovely day but I can’t even legally go to Pyongyang, Tehran, or St. Petersburg right now.
Not endorsing the CCP or anything. I condemn Hamas, etc. China just seems like it’s a few notches below the others.
That's a fair point, they could be worse than they have been lately. They are there for their abysmal human rights record, their refusal to recognize basic rights, their annexation of nearby peaceful countries, treatment of dissidents, sectarian violence, their threats and reckless behavior in the South China Sea, corrupt trade practices, exploitation of desperate nations, total lack of transparency or democratic accountability, and for directly supporting the other shithole authoritarian states on my list that who are fantasizing about a China or Russia dominated new world order. Nothing against the people of China and I don't claim the US and the West has been perfect beacons of freedom and human rights but we try and sometimes we come close. China never comes close.
State run concentration/reeducation camps and almost complete lack of civil liberties sure seems fitting for the description 'evil'.
I’m not saying China is a force for good. I’m saying one could have a relatively normal life in China whereas North Korea is on a different level. China, despite its ambitions and obnoxiousness in the South China Sea, isn’t funding several proxy militias like Iran. It hasn’t invaded Mongolia or even Taiwan.
What Modi and Hindu nationalists are doing in India is despicable. Four fifths of the world’s starving people are currently in Gaza. The Rohingya ethnic cleansing is ongoing. The Horn of Africa is a hot mess. There’s a lot of evil in the world right now. I wouldn’t put China 4th worst.
