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.

FTA:
"The party was organized by influencer Anastasia Ivleeva who instructed her guests to dress to the theme of "nude illusion."
Her guests, paying around $11,000 a ticket, did so with gusto, wearing skin-toned mesh and lace, with Ivleeva herself wearing a $250,000 diamond body chain, The Washington Post reported.
One rapper, named Vacio, showed up in just shoes and a strategically-placed sock, The Post reported."
Or as Hollywood calls it... "Thursday".
What does FTA mean?
Fuck The Ass
Or From The Article if you're a conservative russian
"From The Article."
Yeah, I didn't know either and had to look it up.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers did the sock thing while playing on stage in front of an audience back in the early '90s.
They played Woodstock with less than a sock.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Multiple Russian influencers are issuing groveling apologies and losing work as outrage at the "almost naked" party on December 20 continues unabated.
Now, amid growing outrage, Ivleeva faces a class-action lawsuit filed December 26, in which plaintiffs are demanding she pay $11 million to a veterans' charity, per the independent Russian outlet Meduza.
Other attendees lost well-paid work, finding themselves dropped by brands they promote and having TV specials and concerts canceled, Meduza reported.
Pro-censorship activist Ekaterina Mizulina said the party was "a shot in the foot to the entire policy of our state," and called for a government-level boycott of the celebrities involved, The Washington Post reported.
One of Russia's top TV propagandists, commentator Vladimir Solovyov, called the partygoers "beasts" and "scum," The Washington Post reported.
It also suggests that the economic privations and grind of military service involved in the invasion of Ukraine are much closer to mind for the Russian public than Putin had first hoped.
The original article contains 469 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
That thumbnail picture looks pretty tame considering the headline.
How to Russians handle the gym shower?
They just stay away from the window.
Next time, just send an invite to Putin and his cronies?
Leopards, meet face.
lmao this kind of degeneracy happens everywhere, it's just usually not policed unless the government wants to make a statement
Always confused why people call people having fun going out of their comfort zone - not harming anyone - "degenerate". Is it just because it's something you wouldn't do? Is it because it's so far out of your comfort zone?
