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.

Oh good, we haven't had a breathless "military does military exercises near controversial border" article in maybe two days...
What will come of the world if nations can declare independence from nations they have never been a part of…!? Fuck China! Thoroughly!
That might just push Taiwan into wanting more independence.
Control freak wanting more and more
Reminder that mainland China and Taiwan are technically still at war.
Hang on, if you’re going to take things that far back and what you’re saying is not technically accurate. China and Taiwan have NEVER been at war. It’s technically a civil war between the Republic of China and the communist uprising. At the same, the Japanese had invaded China. The communists had almost been extinguished. They put aside their differences temporarily to drive out the Japanese. The KMT took more losses, allowing the communists to take over the mainland. The KMT fled to the province of Taiwan - on the island of Formosa.
It’s technically a civil war between the Republic of China and the communist uprising.
Yes, that's the war I'm talking about.
Taiwan continues to be controlled by the government of the Republic of China. Mainland China is controlled by the Communist uprising.
(At least, that's how the government in Taipei would describe it. The government in Beijing would describe it differently.)
what you’re saying is not technically accurate. China and Taiwan have NEVER been at war.
I said mainland China and Taiwan. They are both part of China. They are two different parts of China fighting a civil war for control of the whole of China. (Technically.)
I understand the distinction between mainland China and Taiwan. Those are not the entities at war. If, by some miracle, the ROC takes over HK or something, it’s still a civil war between the ROC and the communists.
Also, the capital of the ROC has never been Taipei. It’s Nanjing. It’s just currently controlled by the communists
Also, the capital of the ROC has never been Taipei. It’s Nanjing.
I said "the government in Taipei". They're in Taipei, even if that's not their de jure capital.
Oops that’s my fault sorry
