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.

Probably because most people from non ex-sovietic countries have no idea what a "Yandex" is, but they should still have included the name.
"Ex Soviet Union's largest state by land mass", not "Russia". :P
Well... Russia’s Google is about to become Russia’s Windows
Doesn't live in Russia apparently, so he'll avoid defenestration.
Doesn’t live in Russia
Polonium tea it is then.
Volozh, who co-founded Yandex in 1997 and has been living in Israel since 2014, stepped down as Yandex's CEO in June 2022 after he was sanctioned by the EU for "materially or financially" supporting Russia's war.
Expatriation from Russia is the only way to say the truth without being assassinated. And even then, this guy is taking a huge risk.
Haha, Yandex is fucking AIDS. Take google, but 5x. And it's a good boy doggy of the regime for the last 10+ years. Who even fucking care what this person is to say? Fuck them.
Lmao, from +3 it went to zero. Heyo, rushills, show your face.
Do you even use it?
Yes, and I avoid it unless I can't. It's very invasive and the last good bits of it are now hardly usable due to a striking amount of ads, tracking and enshittification. I think like I had less than 20 search queues in the last two years from their services.
I can write more about each service I liked before and why I call it AIDS if you care to read.
I wonder if you yourself use them, and why?
Ah, i didnt know it was that bad. I just rarelly use the browser now but used it a lot a few years back. i do use the mail and cloud service daily... I ended up using it because i was looking for a google alternative and yandex mail looked easier to manage than gmail to me.
I used the browser cause it felt less restricted than google.. im not talking about adds but about the "guessing what you are actually looking for"
Most of the adds I get in the services i use are in russian so my head probably just goes by them cause i cant read it and they are totally not targeted cause what could i possibly buy in or from russia?... maybe i get less adds because i live in the other end of the world?
