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.
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.

And you feel the need to defend a literal terrorist state. Would you have done so with Nazi Germany too?

FYI, lemmy.ml is the instance run by the core lemmy devs. If that makes it a Tankie instance, then Lemmy must be Tankie software

The Lemmy devs are indeed literal Tankies, which is a quite well known fact. They also own lemmygrad, which is more or less the same as lemmy.ml except that it isn't pretending to be something else. lol

so I trust you'll be deleting your account and joining a Kbin instance asap.

I'm literally using a mbin instance right this moment. I never really used Lemmy, one reason being that the devs are Tankies. Nice collection of self owns my guy.

I'm not defending the state, I'm defending its people. You need to learn the difference.

And whatever fucking instance you're on, you're clearly confusing lemmy.ml with lemmygrad.ml.

Rich of you to bring "learning" into this. If you're already this ill informed about Lemmy, then it's clear that you also have no fucking idea what you're talking about in regards to the Russian populace either. The majority is in support of what is happening in Ukraine, there's literally intercepted calls between wives & soldiers, accepting or even encouraging them to rape, torture or even kill Ukrainian civilians, including kids. You can even go watch street interviews. Even in Moscow & St. Petersburg, which arguably are the most "moderate" Russians, you'll find the majority wanting this not just for Ukraine but the rest of the world too.

And whatever fucking instance you're on, you're clearly confusing lemmy.ml with lemmygrad.ml.

Mbin is a kbin fork, it's not a Lemmy instance. And no, I'm not confusing lemmygrad with lemmy.ml. They're both hosted by the developers and lemmy.ml is notorious for its Tankie users. Just look at how many of them are in the lemmy.ml worldnews community, spreading disinformation & direct personal attacks on regular people and their opinions. The mods literally do nothing about either, because they have the same mindset. That instance merely pretends to be something more legit, but that falls apart immediately when you actually take a look at it. It's just lemmygrad in disguise.
