Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This might be a sign us Aussies will have to say goodbye, our government might strike out in stupid and impotent ways, like banning the .ml domain.

damn that's awful, still reactionary and queerphobic unfortunately

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It does have a large Muslim/Christian population so it’ll be a while before that’s sorted out. It still is an anti-imperialistic gift that will be able to improve on those social conditions if they’re allowed to develop more.

Cuba and Venezuela originally weren’t great with queer issues but became significantly better over time.

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

also consider that they're dealing with the I.S
