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.

Oh yeah. Trump actively wants the economy to fail so he can use it to his advantage. This is doing wonders for him. Fuck Iran
How about fuck israel and their genocide and fuck the US for not forcing a ceasefire. The houthis have stated they are hitting ships because of the ongoing genocide in palestine.
How ignorant. The Houthis are following orders from Iran, which all of this resulted when Hamas also followed orders from Iran to attempt a genocide, except they’re extremely weak compared to the IDF. I’m not supporting the IDF and I think Israel is fucking this whole thing up under Netanyahu, who is a horrible person, but let’s not forget what started this operation
We could have had so many peace deals, but the Palestinians turned many down. And Hamas doesn’t want peace. They want to destroy Israel.
Such a dumb thing to say. You don't negotiate with terrorists because then they know terror works. Only outcome from that is increase in the amount of terror actions and increase in demands.
Their better off 'pausing' their own existence.
Fun, everything will soon be more expensive
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Shell has refused to comment on a report that it has suspended shipments through the Red Sea amid attacks on freight by Iran-linked Houthi rebels.
The oil and gas major was said, by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), to have taken the decision last week to avoid the short route to Europe via the Suez Canal indefinitely.
The paper, citing a number of sources, said there was concern within the company that US and UK strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen could be met with further escalation, placing crews and vessels at a greater risk.
Around 12% of global trade passes through the Red Sea and there are growing fears that an extended period of disruption is a threat to easing inflation - in Europe in particular.
The consequences of the additional costs are yet to be felt by consumers but they are, according to industry figures, set to be passed on down the supply chain in the coming weeks and months.
The chief financial officer of ports and freight operator DP World, Yuvraj Narayan, told Reuters the disruption would hit European consumers hardest.
