A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Dont worry guys, Biden said we'll have a ceasefire by this weekend, and obviously he's not just incredibly out of touch with no idea what reality is like...
Don't worry, the US will just politely ask the Israelis to stop acting like Nazis.
What is quite amazing is that so much of US foreign policy is based on presenting strength.
They do this while being absolutely cucked by the Israelis on the world stage.
Dont worry guys, Biden said we’ll have a ceasefire by this weekend, and obviously he’s not just incredibly out of touch with no idea what reality is like…
Yeah don't worry about the fact that he vetoed a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire 10 days ago.
Its our fault for bringing forwards this criticism. Guys don't you understand that if we show Biden how weak he is, we might get Trump who will also uh.. support a genocide of the Palestinian people. We need to support Biden no matter what, no questions asked, no criticisms allowed.
Obv, /s, but who are we kidding, there won't be a Palestinian people in Palestine by November.
Yeah that's what a Trump supporter would say. You're just mad cause your guy is loosing! (/s)
Never let facts get in the way of a good brow-beating.
Definitely not genocide /s
Hey, Israel has every right to defend themselves from starving children lined up for food. You must be one of those antisemitic people I've been hearing about.
/s
Look at all these human shields... shielding the food and medical aid. Guess we better mow them down.
It’s ok guys. They forgot to condemn Hamas while they were starving and seeking refuge so it’s ok.
You see, the food was Kkkhhhhaaamas.
Horrible horrible horrible
It's no fault of IDF: those people were clearly shielding Hummus!
Occupy Israel
