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.

Every single major news publisher trying their hardest to call this a war and not a genocide.
Those 9000 Hamas militants were collateral damage
I think whomever is modding here today deserves a beer or three.
We're actually doing OK. Fortunately the tools to ban users and remove their bullshit is like, 2 clicks, total.
That being said, they've created a bunch of accounts with 8,000+ posts soooo... like 12 clicks? LOL.
Israel is commiting mass murder, genocide, backed by USA.
not a war
"Genocide was unavoidable" - the lemmy zio-dumbocrats genocide voters
"I didn't vote at all, and am enjoying watching the slaughter of millions of innocent people from my high horse."
Do you also get hard watching innocent immigrants being thrown in cages in the US by the Trump administration, or do you just focus on Palestine to pretend you're somehow morally superior to all the fools who tried to keep him out of office?
I didn’t vote at all because I’m not a genocidal dirty yankees. Pieces of shit americans like yourself want us to believe that their genocide was unavoidable and that voting in an elections where both sides supported bombing civilians was the morally acceptable thing to do.
If I ever have to vote between genocide in america and fascism here I’ll be sure to gleefully vote for the former. I hope you gets deported, I hope somebody bombs your family house with white phosphorus, and I hope you live to see your bitch of a mum try to remove it from what used to be her face while she’s whining in pain.
Genocide voters deserve genocide. It’s simple math really
Piece of shit
Did that occur to you that if enough of yee cowards had clearly signaled genocide was a deal-breaker, they might have considered the political implications of bombing civilians? Fucking loser lmao you lost an election to a rapist. Get cancer
These people are such a murderous bunch of worthless jackasses that I lost faith in humanity. I mean they let a lot of Nazi and Imperial Japanese criminals live because they were 'valuable' and were needed to run the bureaucracy... zionist shitheads have no use. They higher level ones need to be executed and all the lower level ones imprisoned and forced to work to rebuild what they destroyed for the rest of their damned lives.
oh dear, it seems like just a few commenters made a mess of this thread. my question is: which ones were real people, and which ones were just bots?
It's one real person using scripts to create accounts and flood the channel.
We ban them as soon as the accounts are created but sometimes the comments still federate.
We're on it. If you see them, block them, and that will clean up the comment thread.
anything isreal says is a lie. you cant trust the words of a nation that is dropping the bombs and killing the civilians to give honest reports and data. isreal is the devil nation of this decade.
International rules for me, not for thee.
