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.

MODERATORS
Good on the faculty.
We can continue to see Israel's playbook here. Any criticism of their despicable actions (was genocide ever mentioned in the article?) gets converted to antisemitism.
I hope the protestors keep it up. Force the media outlets to say the word genocide. Don't let them ignore what's going on with the Palestinians.
It’s an awful thing to do to the greater Jewish community to leverage antisemitism as a political defense. It’s diluting a concept that has plagued the Jewish people for millennia.
It's also increasing the blind hatred of all Jews.
Yep. I am no friend of Israel by any stretch of the imagination, but one can't help but notice how all the old Jewish stereotypes are beginning to rear their heads again in discourse related to the Israel/Palestine conflict.
Israel is committing genocide. Antisemitism is on the rise. Both these things are true, but the latter should not excuse the former, and the former should not invalidate the latter.
It's also worth noting that most of the Israelis are oppsing the government and actively protest aginst it
A poster on news not too long ago posted a photo claiming the terrorist in Australia who stabbed a bunch of people was "Benjamin Cohen."
Just so people know, anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish bigotry are not tolerated in this community. We do not tolerate any form of bigotry here.
The funny thing is that abusing the accusation of anti-semitism to deflect valid criticism of the actions of the nation state of Israel could itself be considered anti-semitism as it can be harmful for anybody who is a Jew.
I'm a Jew and you're right. It is. It's self-hating antisemitism to gain power.
