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
You are an Israel supporter.
Enough with two sides team based simplistic sense of geopolitics. Israel is a warmongering aggressor state who is attacking Iran, an autocratic theocracy that commits crimes on its own people on a regular basis. There is no reason two things can not be true and terrible at the same time.
The biggest amount of suffering is because of the western imposed sanctions on Iran. Your are supporting another regime change like the previous Shah which only serves Western purposes.
Have you any idea on the internal situation in Iran? Talk to any Iranian, you will learn of things. Even before the western sanctions the people suffered. This idea of us vs them crap and everything is solely the fault of western influence is insulting to anyone from the region.
I don't think the practice of shooting shotguns into crowds from rooftops was something caused by western sanctions for example.
Shut, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck up.
In 2009, the government killed 1.500 people because they went out to ask were their votes went. 10 years later they killed the same amount because people protested an overnight gas price hike of 100%. Then they killed a similar amount, because they beat a Kurdish woman to death for not wearing a hijab. Last year, a wave of gas attacks on girls schools happened and the government looked the other way.
Mossadegh would have led Iran to a better future. Both the Shah and the IRI Ran It into the ground.
Nope. 99% of the suffering is because of the Supreme Dictator
Nope. I want Iran to be able to chose their own leaders. To be thinking that Iranians aren't good enough people to deserve freedom and basic human rights sounds a bit racist to me.
You can thank the US and France for the current Iranian regime.
Why do you think you have the right to dictate what form of government they have?
Because we think killing women and queers just because they exist is a big no no.
Who is "we"? I live under a state that's fully sponsoring the genocidal murder of women, queers, and everybody else.
And you think it's fine? What are you trying to say? Dead women and queers are better than dead everyone so don't let Iranians have democracy?
Absolutely not. Iranians are celebrating the death of some of those killed in the strike.
This is you.
No, I mean their literally celebrating that some of the fuckers were killed who contributed to repressing the hijab protests
Go to YouTube and search any video about Iran and watch it. Check what women are wearing. Come back then.
Ask any Iranian woman. Jina got beaten to death for not wearing her veil correctly.
They said what you are saying is false. And so does literally every video on Youtube of Iran.
Lol, my gf is not Iranian then. Thanks for letting me know. I'll tell to just not bother with putting on a hijab anymore when she visits her family.
