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.

Why are there quotes around that? Is that a quote from someone?
Just someone that thinks anyone that disagrees on anything with them must support genocide. It's become typical in with the self-righteous in the pro-Palestine crowd. And then they wonder why most of society is starting to ignore them.
Maybe don't use the phrases "gaza brained people" and "propaganda" as a description if you don't want people to think you're siding with israel.
Feel free to confirm that you don't support israel/support an end to the genocide.
Nah, there's been enough spamming Israel hatred on this Ukraine thread. Please express your hatred towards Israel and it's people to your daily Israeli hate threads so we don't spam this thread about Ukraine with it any more than it already has been. Gaza might be the only thing your brain can have in it, but other people have other things they want to discuss.
They only referenced the fact that Israel has been targeting civilian populations while repeating the "we only strike military targets" discourse. In no way did they suggest they hated israelis.
I also think it's important to condemn the actions of Israel while refraining from hating their population.
I haven't been making any posts about it, only comments, and even then fairly rarely. Maybe once a month or two. I haven't said or implied any hatred for Israel's people. If you can't even be honest about what I'm saying, the rate at which I am saying it, etc, who are you trying to fool?
And lastly I'll take your lack of condemnation of Israel's actions after being explicitly prompted to as support for their actions, as support for their genocide or palestinians. So much for the whole "jUsT SOmEoNE thaT THinks AnyoNE tHAt DiSAGREes ON AnyThING WIth THem muST suPPoRt genoCIde"
