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.

It took me a moment to notice the edit lol
What edit? The stocks crashing in the background?
Pretty sure it's the friendly handshake.
USAID would be the agency for responding to this but they were one of DOGEs targets back in early/mid March so…
I hate to say it, but it think we got enough problems brewing at home.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. The Nazis have killed USAID, and we are locked in a Civil War at home. The rest of the world is going to have to excuse us for the next few years.
These are the kind of opportunities that the US were masters at exploiting to push its soft power around the globe.
The world order really is changing quickly...
I'd prefer America prove it's strength by doing humanitarian work around the globe rather than crashing the world economy.
Decades, probably. Autocracy is very hard to remove without outside help.
Analysts said that even before the inauguration that it would take 40 years to undo the dammage the Drumpfster had said he would do.
He has gone far beyond what he said he would do.
I hadn't even heard about this quake. I think our attention may just be taken up with a few issues here, and I'm really glad the international community can take up the slack while we get our shit sorted out....
“We” threw 2 million dollars at the problem and pretended that was just as helpful as sending actual aid, as had been done in the past.
Did we? I guess I'm glad to hear that since it's better than the "absolutely nothing" I was expecting....
I really haven't seen anything claiming we did more than that, or claiming we had an impact at all. Honestly, I've barely seen more than this one article on the topic that even mentions the US's (craven lack of) involvement in this. Does anyone in the current admin even care enough to misrepresent our involvement? Is that as depressing a question as it sounds?
It’s still lives lost. Unnecessarily. Mango Mussolini playing games to spite any who disagree with him while people die
And another loss of reputation for the US
