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.

Israel did not create Hamas. This is a silly distillation of facts.
Their actions did and they were caught giving Hamas money. Stop lying to yourself and everyone else.
You know, I kept hearing about this a while back so I was curious and I looked it up. Turns out it never was "israel gave hamas money". Turns out Israel was funding certain on the ground initiatives that later folded into Hamas. It's never so black and white, is it? I strongly encourage people to read beyond the headlines of what they read online.
Fuck me, I bet you believe Israel earnestly is trying to hit Hamas bases under every hospital and school. Or maybe that all 13,000 children they've killed were actually Hamas leaders.
Without Hamas, they have no scapegoat to wipe out Palestine. It's never black and white, is it?
Never said that, but nice pivot.
Yeah you're just trying to shoo away the fact Israel funded a terrorist group as a scapegoat for a genocide. Didn't think it was a stretch.
Aaand we're back to point #1. It's like a circular merry go around. I debunk one thing, you pivot to another, I call you out, and you circle back to claim number one. Fun times.
Yeah it's almost like there's a list of points that all culminate into the broader accusation. You didn't debunk shit. You didn't link shit. You made a claim, cited fuck all, and expected me to go "Oh okay, you're right!". My position is based off the behavior of Israel as it's being reported. Yours is based off "some articles I read said so". Provide something worth locking in on or fuck off.
I merely pointed out your argumentation style. You never asked for sources. Why is it my job to teach you all media literacy. I'm happy to provide sources, but based on your rhetoric I can tell you're already ingrained in your position and no amount of sources will change your position. It's like Lemmy is half full of children that just repeat clickbait headlines and never actually read past the link titles. It's exhausting.
