A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

In East Germany the people loved their nation most only weeks before collapse: 99,92% voted for the pro-soviet government.
Then the CIA dropped 20 million agents from invisible helicopters which fakes mass demonstrations and used mind-control rays to make them love the west and hate the soviet union.
In the first election after reunification the Communists got 11,1% of all votes in Former East Germany. Damned CIA mind control rays.
I suspect that Trump will congratulate him on his win soon.
I dare you to scroll these comments until you find a hexbear CCP cuck insulting the "liberal west", it'll be a fun 20 seconds.
saying “nobody in history has ever succeeded” in suppressing the will of Russians
Nobody except you
I would like to see Trump talk about the 12% of fake voters that Russia has.
This month's list of executions is relatively long
Crap I forgot to vote is there still time?
Don't worry. The current version of the KGB already filled in your ballot.
Accidents already planned for the administrators who allowed the 12% through.
WDYM, they've likely just drawn the numbers.
At this point nobody is seriously trying to get some data from them (that they pretend to give openly, the last time these were text on a webpage with scripts and WOFF fonts used for obfuscation - like the letter "a" is in fact "+" and so on ; people used OCR for that, there were "anomalies").
There's a meme percentage in Russian-speaking web - 146%, that's what once made it to TV for some voting district.
I just want to point out here that this is what many Trump voters are hoping for. If you’re a US citizen, please vote in November.
They've been pushing "both options suck so why bother" rhetoric really hard too. They know they can't get people to vote for trump so their best bet is to get them not to vote
Yes, to the point that
Shit like this will only continue
Russia is a fascist dictatorship.
The sky is blue.
88? He's slipping!
I think it's just his version of coming out of the closet.
The only surprise is that he hasn't won by 187%.
Yeah, he's down by about 40% of his usual vote. That must be all the dissidents!
