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.

If you want to been seen as someone who gives a fuck about Palestinians, you should probably not spread contempt for the only way to reduce harm against them. Instead you are fueling a new era of misery for them -- while using a style of insult only used by Trump in recent years.
It's just kinda funny you think people won't notice... any of this. But sure, use your pathetic crutch, the only one you have: "if you disagree, you love genocide".
Sorry I dont know if I made this clear I am actually not the president of the US, it is Biden currently, thus it is him facilating a fueling a genocide. If Biden wants my vote he can wield his power to stop the genocide, and not at some indefinite time in the future, NOW .
You have made it clear you want trump to win, and anyone with a braincell knows that would be horrible news for Palestinians, those people you totally care about
If Biden wants my vote he can wield his power to stop the genocide, and not at some indefinite time in the future, NOW.
And if he doesn't, then trump it is! You seem really upset about that certainty. So upset you used a trump style nickname: gEnOcIdE JoE
I used it because Biden is directly aiding and abetting a genocide.
You used it because you're pro trump. At best, by accident, but most likely intentionally
This is obviously a narrative you cannot let go of, but I am not pro trump in the slightest, I am a leftist.
Trying to rhetorically fuse the concepts of having a redline over directly supporting and supplying arms for a genocide and being pro Trump is unfortunately the only defense centrist democrats seem to have against the rest of us pointing out the candidate no one actually likes is again, directly fueling a genocide by supplying US made weapons, training to use those weapons, and complete diplomatic immunity for the political consequences of the heinousness of Israel’s atrocities (in not only slaughtering Palestinians indiscriminately, but artificially inducing the conditions of famine, bombing hospitals and assassinating journalists) from the international community.
Let me emphasize I can be swayed on my refusal to vote for Biden very easily. I want to vote for Biden, but if he wants my vote than he has to make that phone call with Netanyahu and stop the mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians and the genocidal erasure of their history from the landscape.
If Genocide Joe makes the phone call and stops this genocide I will immediately stop calling Biden names and commit to voting for him.
Don’t be mad at me for having standards? Be mad at the DNC and Biden for shoving such a shitty choice down voter’s throats.
Then stop taking action which can only help trump
It is Biden taking the action, not me
I am not the one running for president
I am not the one refusing to take action to stop a genocide
You pretend not to understand the consequence of a trump presidency but it's clear as day that you're lying your ass off.
