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.

Before they found an Hamas branded electrical storage tunnel?
Zero evidence before, still zero evidence now.
The med8a were given a tour
From tour they gave at Al-Shifa "HQ tunnel" that never turned up anything substantial
CNN analysis: Video suggests IDF might have rearranged weaponry at Al-Shifa prior to news crew visits
From the tour they gave at the graveyard
Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers
But this tour is super duper l8git!
I can do this all day, or you can keep the misinformation to one post and I can fact check you there instead and save everyone else the hassle.
What we have is a nation fabricating evidence and providing zero evidence elsewhere, as part of a systematic campaign of destruction that is resulting in tens of thousands of dead men, women, and children - such as Hind, murdered after spending hours surrounded the bodies of her family before Israeli forces destroyed an ambulance they had cleared to rescue her, killing her and the paramedics.
What disinformation? That this was written before today's events is a fact. That the media was invited to look is a fact. I'm not embellishing like you are.
And the media were invited to look at the other two tunnels, and they found signs of tampering and misinformation in those cases.
If someone not just lies but fakes what is presented about something twice already, you don't just believe them the third time.
Today's "electrical supply room" tunnel is not the smoking gun that the UNWRA was aiding Hamas. And we have credible reason to doubt the authenticity of anything found due to Israel's prior actions.
Did you ever read the story of the boy who cried wolf?
Oh, this time the IDF isn't lying?
