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.

As I already said, you are going to an awful lot of effort to defend a country that executes women for wearing a hair cover improperly.
I saw no defense of Iran in their comment. Like do you think everyone reading this cannot see exactly what you're trying to do?
context: Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday
Yes we do see exactly what they are trying to do here. To be honest, I'm finished indulging it.
Do you really not see how Israel attacked Iran twice in an attack that would constitute an act of war with every other country in the world?
I love how you don't mention that the US promised Iran a peace treaty if they ignored Israel assassinating an ambassador to the country in Iran's capital.
How bad faith do you have to be to pretend that Israel isn't the crazy one attacking everyone first and committing acts that the former head of the CIA described as a terrorist attack.
Israel is trying to enact a nihilistic regional murder spree, and it is obvious to everyone that isn't okay with the systematic slaughter of children.
Twenty thousand child blown up, or shredded by shrapnel, or buried alive in a year. Multiple torture camps that keep civilians and doctors tied up tight enough that limbs are amputated regularly, the regular intentional targeting of medical personal, an apartheid government based on race.
That's what you defend.
I don't agree or like Iran's government, but I don't want a war with them. It says so much to everyone here that you read that as supporting them.
I don't agree with or like Israel's government, which I have stated publicly multiple times.
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, or what your obsession is with a country that existed for a dozen or so years half a century ago.
I just scrolled through three months of your posts while waiting for my wife to wake up, and had to stop cause that is boring as hell. Ugh. Not doing that again.
I found a single critical post of Israel when they intentionally killed the American woman in the west bank. But you didn't acknowledge that they lied about it before acknowledging it, or that or was obviously intentional.
That is it. Now, I didn't go the full year, so maybe there were comments before that.
I did find out about the Futo keyboard though. So thanks for that.
Also, just a heads up, Thunderbird for android has inserted trackers. The ui of fair email isn't as nice, but at least it isn't tracking you.
And yeah, 'say it ain't so' about Neil Gaimen. Why is it so hard to not be a scumbag?
Also, the movie tusk was horrible.
.... Just out of curiosity, and not a pointed question like the Rhodesia one, but how do you feel about New York City/State?
Netanyahu has been a criminal for many years, not just the past 3 months. His far-right partners should be disturbing to anyone who cares about freedom and human dignity. I'm not going to scroll through old comments to find examples for you though.
I like Thunderbird. They use telemetry in a way that is pretty standard, and it can be switched off completely if you don't like it. I understand the philosophical objection, but I support the project.
I try and raise awareness of biased mods when I can.
The Rhodesia option is the direction the Israel government and people have decided to take.
Morally they are the same thing. Defending one is the same thing as defending the other.
Apartheid governments are intrinsically racist.
Holy shit, seriously, thanks for the futo keyboard suggestion.
