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.

No birthday cake for you ever again

That's fine, I stopped celebrating it years ago.
Dafuq are they popping fireworks about on July 4th amirite.
It's a good example, as murican celebrations end up reverberating all over the internet. I hate it when videogames force their holiday decorations, I don't want my horror scenario to have christmas lights.
I don't like it when they insert cringe festivities into pron. Who tf wants to see them doing the hoo-hah while wearing bright red Santa costumes or lame ass skits going like trick or treat? Aha you want the trick 😫. Cringe af.
To celebrate white land owners being given free reign to manifestly genocide their way westwards I presume. Idk I'm not American.
And my point is that this isn't even a landmark celebration year (e.g. 50th, 75th, 100th), whilst we're in the midst of genocide actively being carried out makes this post feel more like an effort to detract from current crimes.
Some things really should be remembered annually.
This is one of them.
So you remember every other genocide each year as well I take it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides
Or are European lives just worth more to you?
Gotta pump up those numbers. They're too statistically insignificant so we don't include them in our global concerns. Also they are probably occuring somewhere in the backwaters of asia or the middle east so they are all terrorists anyway.
All the more important to remind the genociders that they were the genocidee in living memory.
This is one of the very last Holocaust Memorial Days with some actual survivors still present. Those who were 16 when they were liberated are 95 now. Not many who were younger then actually survived, and not many who were older then are still alive now.
Are there Holocaust survivors opposing Israel's crimes against humanity?
Ask them while you can.
Ohh... Jewish Voice for Peace consists of descendants of Holocaust survivors.
Malding genocide supporters coping with the idea that they can't possibly in the wrong and all decades of this is because of Hamas. Somehow all human beings in Palestine just happened to deserve to die
Fuck you and your whole family , you terrible person
Ich stimme zu. Wir sollten jedoch aufhören kleinen, schleimigen Wichsklumpen die Aufmerksamkeit zu geben nach der sie gieren.
Lass ihn einfach in die Leere kreischen. Nichts was du sagst kann ihn schlimmer bestrafen als seine eigene, lieblose Existenz.
Yes I’m terrible because I don't find an almost 80 year old event newsworthy compared to genocide occurring today.
I can only hope you feel that strongly about the Palestians being genocided that your government is throwing under the bus to support Israel for.
Last month was the 86th Anniversary of the Beijing massacre, one part of a genocide against millions of Chinese. You had an anniversary event to commemorate them, right? Or are you a terrible person and a massive hypocrite?
I knew comments here would be terrible, but you managed to limbo even under my extremely low expectations. Well done.
There's no need to downplay the significance of past genocides just because of present-day genocides. Remembering the past is important: it's no coincidence that fascism is on the rise again just when most of the people who remember living through it in Europe are gone. Remembering is necessary if we are to learn from the past, but it doesn't guarantee we will, as Israel's actions today show.
Im not downplaying it anymore than you are when you don’t make news of the anniversary of the Beijing massacre.
If remembering is so important to you, why aren’t you also remembering them?
What im doing is exactly the same as you do to every other genocide from the past.
What is stopping you from remembering or orginazing a ceremony? Orginaze one or participate in a ceremony of your choice. Don't be bitter because people remember this specific holocaust. It is important.
Im not bitter, I just don’t care the same as you don’t care about that one.
If you're talking to me, where do you get the idea that I'm not remembering that? Plenty of people make a big noise about it every year. But it feels like you're trying to change the subject.
So you’re telling me every year on December 13th you celebrate the victims of genocide in China?
Bullshit you do.
Oh, the edginess is just bleeding through you, isn't it? Having those rebellious friday up all nighters afterschool before coming online to shitpost on the weekend? What a waste of a life.
