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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 US is self toppling. Give it a another year. Cooking the books doesn't work when you're leveraged beyond what you can cook.
How do you have multiple quarterly earnings at -40%+ and still go up!? The stock market is make belief and bullshit that my retirement is tied to it...
Welcome to NASDAQ. Where everything is made up and the points don't matter. That's right folks, the points are like TSLA's earnings, completely meaningless.
The AI bubble is 4x subprime mortgage. I already have the title of the next movie: The Big Shart.
No you don't. We have been getting the same government again and again, it's just the prime minister changing. You think we have control but Macron will keep putting the same government body under a different head. This is precisely why Lecornu resigned, he wasn't satisfied with whom Macron ordered him to chose. The people in the government were all old corrupt cunts that literaly nobody likes
So....like literally everywhere else.
I hate this timeline so much
So basically paving the way for La Pen’s buddies.
This is exactly why they have been trying to keep the current government going. The alternative is le pen and her ~~crooks~~ buddies
The government has been in various stages of collapse ever since the leftist won big and Macron allied with the right to prevent them from taking power.
This is just yet one more item of fallout.
To give a bit of context :
- the previous government (prime minister and the other ministers) drafted a budget proposal last summer that was widely unpopular among the population and most deputies in the national assembly.
- the previous prime minister asked for a vote of confidence, lost the vote of confidence so the whole government resigned
- Macron appoints a new prime minister, this new prime minister promises a new policy line that will break with the old government.
- After 26 days, the new prime minister reveals the name of the new ministers that will form the new government. It's mostly the same names as before.
- 15 hours later he resigned, so the new government is dissolved.
...who could have possibly seen this coming?...
Everyone but that won't stop macron blaming everyone else
How many Scaramucci's is that or do we need to start using Lecornu's?
First smile I have had in like a month I think. Felt weird. Thanks for that.
That is the good and the bad with French politics.
On the one hand, if the French government tries to f-ck up the people, those people put down the whole country in no time. Sometimes it looks like they have a general strike set up within five minutes.
On the other hand, when they actually need painful reforms (like the do now), it's the same.
We do not need painful reforms. The only needed reforms would be painful for less than 1% of the population : the rich, the billionaires and millionaires not paying their fair amount of taxes.
Indeed. But as long as at least some parties protect them and their wallets as if they were the politicians' lives, you won't get anywhere.
That's why we protest. They are put in bad position now. They'll have to listen to us at some point.
Dear America: please take notes.
We would but most of us can’t read
We cant decide what to do with the notes afterward.
