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.

I brought Reuters and you brought… whatever that site is.
Arguing this stuff on Lemmy reminds me of arguing with right-wingers on Facebook back when I had one - y’all post the most obscure sources.
And the children thing comes up too instead of acknowledging the fact that Hamas actively uses human shields by camping with civilians.
So, again, if they’re going to camp with civilians, expect this to happen again.
Hamas knows countries following the Geneva convention are more careful with noncombatants nearby.
That affords them some level of protection and you’re demonstrating exactly how with the genocide comment, besides Israel actually being more careful.
Hamas actively tries to get citizens killed to get people like you to say those things and lobby their governments to stop attacking them.
Weird way to conduct a genocide - warn everyone to evacuate an area before attacking your target.
That’s about what I expected.
Thanks!
God forbid there is a news reality that is not in English anywhere in the world. This is why russia is focusing its propaganda efforts in South America and India, because it knows Anglosphere hubris will lead them to ignore non-English media bubbles, but they are very much there, that's how a dipshit like Órban wins elections.
PS: sorry about the rant, it's not directed at you in particular :/
I have no issue with the non English part. We don’t have a monopoly on truth.
I just don’t know how I’m supposed to keep track of all these news sites to know which are to be taken seriously and which can be dismissed.
Before they replied how am I supposed to know if they’re a Reuters or InfoWars? It takes too much bandwidth.
