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.
-
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.

Push the tanker into the Hodeidah port. See if they like to clean up the spill. Fucking idiots.
edit: This is not a hard policy proposal for fuck's sake, it's just venting frustration. Real hard policy proposal: end the Israeli apartheid and work out a just peace in Israel & Palestine, then work out a way to cool down the whole region. At the same time, push for decarbonization and get rid of oil dependency.
They wont.
But in this case its kind of stupid to go through a activly bombarded zone too...
Just another reason to fucking stop burning this shit for energy
Legit my first thought was "what the fuck, you KNOW ships are being shot at through there, why the FUCK would you knowingly steer THAT into it"
I'll let other people argue about who is right or wrong, but it seems like common sense to avoid areas of conflict.
I'm not going to drive by a shootout just because the road I'm on only passes the shooting. I will avoid that area like the plague until the shooting won't start back up.
Not really an option with regards to international trade. It's the same reason why people still go to work and live ordinary lives in a war zone.
Amen to that.
It's one of the most densely traveled sea lanes in the world.
Wouldn't you know it, two things can be true at the same time.
In the united states, I-90 is one of the busiest interstates, but if someone is actively shooting at vehicles on it, it's still stupid to drive through the shooting.
Extra stupid if you're hauling oil.
