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.

Sheesh Israel, leave some fascism for the rest of us
Nope, fascism should be left to the professionals. Only experienced people should be implementing Final Solutions.
It's never properly final, you know? It's always some glib schmuck who does a bodge and scarper
Edit: This one's not very funny, tend to agree with the downvoters. I'll workshop it.
No, no... We don't need it at all
One of my favorite things about Lemmy is how I can say something blatantly silly and most people will laugh at me, as intended, but a good half will be like "yeah but seriously," because there's nothing I can say these days that is so silly someone hasn't said it with complete sincerity.
While I get your point and completely agree, I can see how you might have hit a nerve, what with fascism being on the rise across the world.
Half of the American major parties and the ruling parties of India, Russia, Israel, Hungary, Belarus, Italy and other countries being fascist is not nothing..
It was a multifaceted piece of snark. Nobody is safe - from fascism or my japes
Coming in with the hard j!
smh my head
If humor isn't working for you as a toxic coping mechanism, be funnier!
Words to live by ❤️
I'm with you on the silliness. I don't really mean that Israel should bottle all of fascism. Their people don't need it either
‘Israel has the right to fascist itself’ /s
😂
