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.

What do you know, you're danish
What do I know? My parents came to Denmark fleeing from this shitty regime. What do you know?
Do you still know people in Iran? Aren't you concerned about them getting firebombed like people in Beyruth?
Of course I have family in Iran, even though I don't know them too well. How are you reading that I'm happy that terrorist (Israeli) bombs are falling on people? Regular people are always the losers in warfare, no matter the circumstances. Just wouldn't be sad if it happened to fall on Khamenei - nor if a missile landed on Bibi's house.
It's so hilarious how they try to spin any criticism of the IR as blind Zionism. Gotta love it.
My wife would be sad
Right now iran is the only country that's standing up to israel. Let the west put a puppet regime there and they can just genocide arabs all they want
Israel is undoubtedly the most evil regime in the world but upholding another evil regime oppressing 90+ million people just because they lay claim to standing up to Israel - without producing any particularly strong results - doesn't seem like the tradeoff to go for. Two wrongs don't make a right. Iran can still be on the right side of history without Khamenei and his goons.
yeah go tell her that her friends got firebombed. Where else do you look for hope?
What, you think you're gonna get democracy through western bombing. Just look at iraq and lybia. Both great democracies now lmao
Again, what does that have to do with not supporting the regime? They're not there to protect the people.
Of course not, USA and Israel won't ever let Iran thrive - but it can't be any worse, like in Syria. New crappy regime to replace the old, but a slight improvement nonetheless.
Are you?
Coz I noticed a few astroturfing account posing as iranians.
I am, but I won't claim that I'm not first and foremost Danish - apart from when it comes to food.. But I do feel like I'm allowed to have a strong opinion on the regime.
