Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The China love on the Lemmys is a bit odd.

I haven't yet I like to argue with them I know I can't win cos winning an argument requires the opposition is intelligent enough to apply logic but its still entertaining.

A lot of the communities I frequent have "no tankies allowed" listed clearly in the rules. It's not that all of lemmy likes them it's just that we haven't decided to purge them, yet, given the ideology of a decentralized network of federated content feeds.

you should have seen lemmy ml when Russia invaded Ukraine. It was almost the death of the entire platform.

On the flipside, the American exceptionalism on the Lemmys is par for the course...
