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.

MODERATORS
Maybe we should start taking notes.
Lol dont get your hopes up. The PPP (president's party) boycotted the vote to impeach the prime minister (aka: acting president) because they claim that the judicial appointments are partisan, therefore the acting president shouldn't be impeached for not appointing those already approved judges. They vote was 192-0 which would not have passed if it was against the sitting president (they count votes out of the total members of legislators, not showing up is basically a "no" vote), but because the acting president is technically still prime minister, only a simple majority (150 out of 300) was need to impeach.
The US's opposition party (Democrats) doesn't even have a simple majority, South Korea's opposition party has almost 2/3 minus 8 (they have 192 of 300 seats). Completely different scenario.
Hopefully something come of it
This is a revenge impeachment on the acting president who took over for Yoon after he was impeached.
?
Nah, they (the members of legislature who voted to impeach the prime minister) said he, as acting president, refused to appoint ~~supreme court justices~~ (edit: correction: constitutional court justices) already approved by the legislature, so they impeached him.
What is "revenge" about this? (Unless I missed something)
~~Supreme court~~ (edit: correction: Constitutional court) needs 2/3 for a quorum, total is 9 seats, they have 6 right now, so if anyone on the court dies, they might have issues trying to convict the president of impeachment.
Not only that, but unless the vacant sheets are filled soon, the justices have to vote unanimously for the impeachment, as it must be two thirds of the seats, not the justices, that need to vote to convict. As there are only six justices out of nine, one dissenting judge is enough to reinstate Yoon.
a political crisis that has ... damaged its international reputation
I mean... I guess? In today's climate of openly supporting genocide and disinformation, it feels a bit like being embarrassed you spit your drink on your suit at a party while there's someone taking a shit in the punch bowl.
Impeachment Fever. Catch it!
South Korean lawmakers are pissed.
