World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Yes good point, clearly my story was steeped in "white" privilege, rather than understanding and dissecting conflict and trauma.
You know squid, here the thing. Whenever issues of Israel and the the palestinian genocide pop up, I see lots of hysterical posts like yours. Theres a clear pattern of attempting bury the lead in their own self interest, and push antisemitism to the fore to the exclusion of everything else. Exactly like you're doing now. So are you commenting in good faith right now? I cant say for sure. But your last comment shows you minimize every other concern in order to yell and potentially bully. I'd care more about your words if you talked about doing the right thing and human rights -- you know, the context of whats going on-- rather than this woe is me thing, nobody knows my sorrows shtick that comes across. I have no doubt you've experienced attacks based on your ethnicity, but many of us have-- many of us much more severe than yours. As an frequent OP and mod somewhere you could focus on leading forward toward everyones shared interests despite your experience. You're not doing that. if you have any interest in being a better person, do better.
Yes, well us Jews are known for being "hysterical" when faced with perfectly justifiable bigotry against us.
I should be like "the good ones" and not speak up.
Everything in the world is not about just you being jewish and that some people at some point called you names. As minority pain and lack of safety goes these days, your pain is laughably small and your continual exclusive focus on YOUR pain to the exclusion of all else, seemingly to hold some lofty perch of victimization, is pathetic.
You want to hate injustice? then hate injustice and pull your head out of your rear about your own comparitively small pains. You want to be selfish, then continue mewling like a farm animal which only cares about its itchy butt, like you are now.
Try being Palestinian, or Arab in the western world, or black. or a indigenous person of any kind-- australia, the most of US, lots of places. You arent in danger on a daily basis, much as you'd like to claim you constantly are. Other people actually are in danger, and are starving and suffering greivous harm as we speak. You want people to care about you, then care about them. Get some effing perspective.
True. However, this thing that you just said one comment up sure looks like it's about me:
Since this isn't about me, when you said "hysterical posts like yours," were you talking to a person standing behind me or what?
Also, I was literally talking about being physically assaulted, not just called names. But you know what liars us Jews are.
These are all your words. You always sign off with a racial slur couched as an accusation, and the only one using these slurs around here is you-- because they are not permitted here. I'm going to report this nonsense.
Your pattern of conjuring up the worst slur against you and accusing other people of that is as odious as its use by others would be against you, and I'm tired of allowing it. Racial slurs and bigotry dont belong here, and I question whether you belong as an op or mod on lemmy if this is how you operate day to day.
I know what my words were.
And I think it's hilarious that you are accusing me of using racial slurs against myself.
Do you get similarly incensed when black people use the N-word?
If they go around accusing everyoine else of using it when the other people didnt, yes. Its be the same thing.
And yet your reporting didn't seem to work. Why do you think that is? Jewish sympathizers?
Man you just cant help yourself with your constant use of stereotypes to strawman. What if everyone talked like that? This site wouldnt even exist. So what gives you the privilege of acting this way? Is your ethnicity an act-as-bad-as-you-feel-like card?
To answer your question, who knows. It kind of doesnt matter. If they ban you now, great, if they dont now, it'll happen later.
A better question is: Do I think you stop digging a hole for yourself by acting in this manner? Nope. I doubt that the pattern of your communications is an isolated issue to this conversation. I imagine your impulse control is also impaired. The best thing that will happen to you anytime soon is for you to overstep and be knocked down on your butt to think about what you did and how and why you do it.
So I'll see you around or I wont I guess. bye.
Yeah, that's all Jews deserve, am I right?
