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 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.

Well... there goes another group of people who will die from Western diseases sometime soon. If previous encounters with similar groups by loggers are any indication, they might get some revenge first.
"Uncontacted", in this instance, is more like "They're talking to other indigenous folks in the vicinity once every couple of years and it is generally known that they want to be left alone so Peru doesn't insist on issuing everyone ID cards and considers them sovereign regarding criminal law and stuff".
They're already resistant against the usual bugs and as far as illegal loggers, poachers etc. are concerned: Those don't give a rat's arse about whether a tribe wants to be left alone or not. Or whether whoever they come across is indigenous or not.
Or, they'll straight up murder them if they get in the way or resist. They don't give a fuck about who or what lives there. They will extract the resources they want and move on to the next spot.
Diseases? The last group we knew of in Brazil died from bullets from illegal miners.
The most Western of diseases: lead poisoning.
I’m not sure gunpowder is the thing you wanna try and argue is a western invention
They never said it was, but it certainly is a Western disease at this point
