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.

Canada should keep any tariffs/boycotts they’ve already established in place. Trump’s tariffs have been flipping on/off as if they’re light switches.
Seems we're going to impose 25% export tariffs on power anyway, because just delaying a month isn't good enough.
While we're at it, we might just get a chance to literally punch Trump (jr) right in the fucking mouth.
I'm also pretty sure the Starlink contract is still being cancelled, and there's a ban on future US contracts atm. Liquor stores have greatly reduced American inventory and encourage local products, travel to the US has dropped dramatically; and overall there's a general 'fuck America' attitude in the air. It's kind of refreshing.
Looks like we are. Fucker wants to flip/flop every 2 hours - go for it. We're going to show how leadership works and what stability looks like. He wants to start acting like an adult we can create a new trade agreement, but it will never be e as open as it once was and we will continue to divest from a US centric trade arrangement.
Am canadian, don't see myself stopping boycott of the US until Trump is gone. After that, I might still continue.
From Europe. That's the thing. Even if the democrats win with a somewhat sensible candidate in 4 years it's not like the US are to be trusted any time soon. Should we build bridges and rely on intelligence transfer, trade agreements, military cooperation etc just for them to leave us hanging again 4 years after that? A large part of the US clearly see us as adversaries or even enemies, not allies.
Am American, please keep it up.
I wish there was a way to stick it to Trump, but not our American friends!
While I appreciate the sentiment, you gotta realize that there’s a shitload of profoundly stupid people down here, and they’re not gonna learn anything unless it hits them in the face at highway speeds. You’re gonna have to continue the beatings until morale improves.
Holy fuck trump, give yer balls a tug. Fuckin piss or get out the fucking way.
"You heard me."
Floundering just to look like a weak leader, an imbecile, and succeeded in nothing but dropping the stock market and raising prices artificially. Those are your new prices too. Good job dipshit.
Mexico should team up with Canada and pummel Trump.
Lucha Libre style, but real
Hahaha, keep doing that.
Buying local is becoming part of the conversation and nothing says weak leader like flip flopping.
him and his friends are buying the stock market dips, it has nothing to do with anything other then him and his friends making more money, and maaaybe crashing the economy for Putin. He couldn't care less if people buy local and large corporations feel pain. He's gonna hand them enough tax breaks anyway, they'll be fine.
And they should both keep their tariffs up until he stops this bullshit. Better yet, whenever he tries to reinstate them add another 25% onto it for each time he does it.
It’s like: Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face
