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.

I'm not that familiar with polish politics, is this an actually centrist party or just a "centrist" party that's actually far right?
PIS (Law and Justice) is national-conservative far-right party that in reality is also pro-social market, Konfederacja / Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość (Confederation or in full Confederation Liberty and Independence) is somewhat similar to Law and Justice but they are more pro-free market, and from what we've seen so far they were against Law and Justice in most of the votes and they mostly voted together with Civic Platform.
We also have centrist parties like Trzecia Droga (Third Way) or Koalicja Obywatelska (Civic Coalition) that is coalition of parties previously known as Platforma Obywatelska (Civic Platform), Nowoczesna (Modern), iPL (Polish Initiative) and Zieloni (Greens).
Finally we also have left-wing Lewica (The Left) which is coalition of multitude of smaller parties that were centre-left/far-left.
The results of the 2023 parliament votes are:
So we have 248 mandates for centrist/left-wing parties that probably will work together against 194 mandates for Law and Justice alone or 212 mandates if they are voting with Confederation (that probably won't be the case in votes around economic/social votings).
The sad thing is that the president is literally with Law and Justice and until we vote him out in 2025, the opposition (even with Confederation) won't have majority to vote down his veto. Also I hope there won't be any issues from the president around forming the new government with opposition instead of Law and Justice (even if they had majority).
Hope this helps a little move around here.
