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
I too would resort to name calling with a factually bankrupt argument and poor reasoning skills. Well done!
Poor reasoning skills? Sorry but even IDF admitted their fuck-up and said that it was against their rules of disengagement, while you still pretend that they did nothing wrong. So who's morally bankrupt here? You who is refusing to admit the wrongdoings of your own people even when presented with clear undisputed facts or me?
They admit wrongdoing because they're not intentionally targeting civilians.
To support your false narrative/pro-hamas propaganda, you're attempting to conflate an accident during wartime as intentionally targeting civilians. It's really not okay, and I am concerned for you.
You don't know who "my people" are, but I see the attempt to start framing more personal attacks, and intent to libel further, and I get that you've embarrassed yourself multiple times and shown your true colors. You have my pity.
Ah yes, defending basic human rights is called nowadays pro-Hamas, thanks for enlightening me.
You should see how many people agree with your statements and how many with mine and perhaps you should start questioning your position.
Apparently self reflection isn't your forte.
A quick check on your profile reveals that you have -781 karma out of 91 comments. That's roughly -9 karma on each one of your comments.
Are you kidding? Downvotes by the Hamas supporters here are a badge of honor. I wish there was a profile badge where I could display all the fury of terrorist sympathizers who had their world view challenged and bullshit called out.
Downvote away kiddo.
I also would happily accept downvotes from Nazis, fascists, and capitalists.
