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 am asking why you think the houthis are shooting the missiles.
You said that you don’t believe their stated reason, so I am asking what you believe the reason is, the next question is why you believe that, I am asking your side and for evidence.
No side in this is perfect by far, other than the innocents, who by definition have done nothing wrong
I don’t see what reason the houthis have to lie about this, what would they have to gain by lying?
They wish to disrupt trade. And disrupt the narrative of the war.
Evidence: they're disrupting trade. We're talking about this.
My entire point is that pollution and article is irrelevant.
No side is perfect but there's one side who have ultimately orchestrated that part of the world to the place it's in now.
The US put the extremists in charge in Iran because of the Red scare.
The US put the extremists in charge in Saudi Arabia for the oil supply.
The US has supported Israel's stance against any non-jew in creating an apartheid state.
The US has given weapons to several sides.
The US has directly bombed several countries.
All while not supporting the Arab spring and grass roots push for democracy.
"Not perfect" doesn't cut it. The US is aggressively colonialist, just as the British were before them.
Ah, agreed
Edit: About the US
