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
The rest of the world alleges pointlessness of UNs existence and their pro-Hamas position.
This is the only independent institution right now, that really protects human rights.
Don't forget that all those resolutions are voted by emissaries of different countries and a directive to be approved needs to be approved by the majority of those countries.
Not to forget that the UN approved the founding of Israel.
So perhaps you should question yourself if the majority of the countries think that what you are doing is wrong, if it is really a problem with the institution or with your actions.
Iran's UN Ambassador to chair Social Forum. Same Iran which is funding and publicly supporting Hamas. Same Iran whose morality police killed a 16 year old girl for not covering her face. They are hosting a HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL at UN. And you are telling me UN is a serious organization?
Ah yes, straight from the playbooks of your country's propaganda, discredit the institution.
The facts are that in the latest UN resolution calling for a ceasefire 120 countries voted YES, 14 NO and 40 ABSTAINED, this means that 120 out of 174 countries that voted in this particular resolution think what Israel is doing in Gaza is wrong. Let that sink in. The vast majority of the international community are telling you that what you are doing in Gaza is wrong.
The U stands for United, and is an institution that was formed after WWII to prevent in the future global war conflicts of happening. And let me remind you of the fact that without the UN, Israel wouldn't exist.
But yes, Israel good, UN bad.
