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.

What an insane thing to repeat without any evidence.
I’ve literally said from start to finish it’s a wild conspiracy theory with no evidence, I have no reason to believe it’s true nor should anyone who saw what I said.
And I’ll add some “in case you’re a moron boilerplate” to it
Though in this scenario I’d be a 3rd party source, as I heard it from a first party. My credibility is suspect as you don’t know how valid my claim is anyways.
This is actually needed. People see the conspiracy disclaimer as a wink wink and just believe everything as-is.
It's not exactly crazy to talk about the US government assassinating people. The craziest part is supposing they try that hard to hide it.
What they mean is you have a covert ops team doing missions they can't acknowledge. Team takes heavy losses in a mission. How do you report those deaths/injuries? Easy: Osprey crash. It's not assassinations, it's being able to fabricate a legitimate cause of death for someone who died in a way you don't want to admit. Not necessarily assassinations. Even accidental deaths could be covered up this way according to the rumor/theory if the accident was something they didn't want to bring to light. Not saying all Osprey deaths are this or that only the osprey is used for this.
Now I get it. Sorry for the misunderstanding
No problem. People were down voting you when it was clear there were different thoughts going on. You good 👍
Yes and again, this was all said with no evidence and is just fiction effectively.
Exactly. Keyboard warriors getting up in arms over a story being shared. Ffs.
