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
Correcting someone who is using misinformation or loaded words doesn't violate our community rules.
I assumed that was an insult directed at me.
Were you calling the UN and everyone that signed the Geneva Convention stupid instead?
Even the "misinformation" claim, clearly the UN and Geneva Convention have a definition that's different than yours, are you saying the Geneva Convention is misinformation?
You're free to disagree as a personal opinion, but that's like me insisting an apple is a yellow fruit from South America that you need to peel before eating...
It doesn't change the definition everyone has agreed on.
No, that was directed at the United Nations poor use of words.
Then if what you're saying is true, then I'm sure you can link an article from the past 74 years where some internationally respected human rights organization (or really anyone) has pointed it out by now...
Like, seriously.
The Geneva convention has been a thing for 74 years, I'm sure someone else would have noticed by now.
Did you read this somewhere? Or is this something you've "discovered" on your own?
And even if that is true, you understand that doesn't make it ok, and still means Israel is flagrantly breaking the Geneva Convention?
Israel is within it's rights to defend itself from a violent attack against it's civilian population. The Palestinian government is the only one who I've seen committing crimes through it's support of Hamas.
Are you a bot?
Does my account say it's a bot?
You certainly sound like one.
That does not compute
If I slap you on the face you have the right to slap me back, not the right to shoot me a full magazine.
And Hamas is not in charge or have any power in the West Bank but Israel is killing people in West Bank too. Is like someone waging war against England and bombing Ireland because they speak the same language.
It appears Israel doesn't agree.
