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.

Lessons from the genocide:
There are no human rights for brown people. They aren't even humans.
"Never again" only applies to Jews and other privileged groups.
Might makes right.
When it comes to genocide Israel learned from the best. This is absolutely sickening on so many levels.
Didn't Israel already have a "deal" with Hamas? They broke it!
If Israel thinks they can kill absolutely all of them, they will take that chance 100 % of the time.
In a Room with 20 Islamists, they'll kill 20 Islamists, 20 Future Islamists, and 30 potential Islamists and create 200 future islamists.
It would be nice if some meaningful sanctions actually happened to Israel rather than everyone just going "oh dear... look at these atrocities! We better discuss them in a less than meaningful manner because no one gives a shit about international law nowadays anyway"
no one gives a shit about international law nowadays
Scares the living shit out of me. The only reason it's them and not me is because I happened to not be born there, and if it can happen to them with no repercussions, it can happen to us.
Yup. I take the Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” quite seriously.
People try to counter with "but why do you care about something happening over there on the other side of the world." Morality and ethics aside (I understand that this is a huge asterisk), even from a purely self-interested standpoint they clearly don't understand the big picture.
A majority of the human population aren't even able to understand the small, local, picture.
That's 2.54 cm for the non-Americans
