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.

Trump and Netanyahu are both worse.
Wrong.
Only wrong if you think white lives are more valuable than non-white lives
Oh yes. I forgot that ukrainians are black. How silly of me.
Lol. Nice Edit of the post.
They aren't, that's my point
No, you're right. Putin is much worse.
More than 1 million dead in the war.
As bad as the war against Hamas is, it pales in comparison.
Sure, if you believe only whites are human.
Lol. Where did you get that number from?
Oh, you're a genocide denier and a fascist, never mind.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War
Sorry that you had to find out this way that you are biased.
And where did Wikipedia get that number from? Or are one of those people who doesn't understand how wikipedia works think it's a source?
You also apparently don't understand how bias works.
You're also a genocide denier and a fascist.
If i'm a fascist for pointing out that you are biased towards a genocidal maniac, then what are you? As opposed to me who doesn't side with tyrants.
No, that's you.
Except that you do. In fact, you even engage in genocide denial to side with tyrants.
I really think you need to go back and read again and think a little bit. I don't condone genocide.
I do, however, call out people for being biased and leaving out information on purpose.
Except for Isreal's genocide in Gaza
You call yourself out?
If anyone needed further evidence that "tankie" just means "anyone to the left of the US Democrats", I present the above.
How is defending one fascist leader as less evil than two others left of anything?
So the person defending Trump and Netanyahu as less evil than Trump is a tankie as well? Or are you just a hypocrite?
No, theyre likely leaning towards overly focusing on American pain.
Someone overly focused on Netanyahu as evil, honestly like fair, he's doing some hardcore genocide at the moment.
If someone is overly focusing on Khemini as evil, they're likely an Islamophobe, gender reducionist, or Iranian.
Ok, so you're just a hypocrite
That's literally what got me called a tankie!
