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.
-
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.

MODERATORS
Good to see a country buck the conservative trend going around lately.
Well I don't think we really have, honestly.
It's just that the inbred racists who are all too common don't think these elections mattered.
Yeah. 42% turnout.
What I hear is that some European countries are leaning right on over-immigration and are voting on the basis of that issue.
Countries that aren't going through that, aren't voting right.
France and Germany were, so they went right. Portugal and Finland weren't, so they went left.
In Finland that trick has gone already. Right wing ran immigration support to the ground so far right got votes with their campaign of "cars are burning and hand grenades are flying" (they're not).
So hopefully this election is a first in the counter wave to that.
What did the right wing make of Russia's stunts re: dumping migrants on the border? Where do they stand on putin etc? Thanks for insights from Finland, always wanted to visit.
They created a panic. Migration officials said that we're not in a crisis, the capacity and logistics to help people across the border are good. The right wing government made a huge media hassle that the border needs to close and have been finding ways to continue it indefinitely without a real solution to make the situation workable. Now they're trying to pass the evaluating of each migrant to the border control workers (they're protesting) instead of professionals.
The far right party has many connections to Russia (and China) but have shifted their communication to hide that. They've voted against sanctions towards Russia but their main nazi has done doctorate work on Ukraine and seems conflicted on his allegiances.
appreciate the details!
Russia was (I don't know the current status) playing games on the border by dumping thousands of migrants at once - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finland-says-thousands-migrants-seek-enter-via-russia-2024-02-20/
