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.

MODERATORS
That vote is a. Contested and b. They haven't had an election in the lifetime of (prewar) like 80% of their population was alive "they" didn't make anyone a leader. "They" are mostly children of you look at demographics.
You're a bigot, you just wanted an excuse so you don't feel as bad about it. I'll bet money you've said something to the effect of "glassing" Iran, Iraq and/or Afghanistan as well, be honest how correct am I?
That’s a lot of excuses to justify support for a terrorist group.
Sorry buddy Palestinians put them in power and tolerated them for decades. You can try to scrub history but they are reaping what they’ve sown for decades.
One man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter. Like the ANC and Nelson Mandela, who was a worldwide wanted terrorist for decades.
Yeah no, Nelson Mandela didn’t sanction the kidnapping and killing of civilians.
Fuck right off with your false analogies.
Oh so Israel is terrorist as well, im glad we agree as Hamas was a Israeli project they've admitted to and netenyahu keeps getting busted talking to and handing over suitcases full of cash.
Fuck right off with your bullshit hedging, the country with a series of open air concentration camps isn't going to win the morality fight.
I never said it was moral. But their tactics will win in the end.
Calling one team terrorist and supporting the other is making a moral choice dipshit. Don't try to hedge your way out of genocide excusal now.
So you're a Nazi sympathizer, then, and you openly admit it?
Just acknowledging reality.
That's not a no.
He did however sanction and plan dozens of bombings, and maintained contact with a militant arm of his organization that killed plenty of people.
