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.

Palestinian here, not in the US. So Harris would have done genocide but without more 2000 pound bombs. Trump does it with them.
Your voters couldn’t decide against genocide, they could only decide with which weapons it will be continued. You guys have a problem.
Edit: greetings to the Lemmy Hasbara division. Responses are kinda wild, didn’t expect this. I should post more here.
Biden already sent 14,000 of those bombs so you’re wrong. Both candidates are pro genocide.
I was hopeful about the peace deal with the Muslim countries signing on but as usual our politicians flood everything with shit so no one knows that’s up or down.
Does anyone decide against genocide when it suits them? There's some irony in both Palestine and Israel supporters whining to the Democrats about not opposing the respective genocides hard enough while ignoring their Hamas and Netanyahu doing it to the other side. Take the log out of your own eye before complaining about the speck in the other's.
On a rational level, we all need to oppose killing of civilians and children. But man, it's hard to convince people to care when the people you're trying to save won't help themselves.
I don’t think I understand your comment. You think it’s hard to side against genocide? Because that’s what most of us are doing here.
He's an enlightened centrist, ignore him. The fact that people think hamas (which are bad, of course) are as bad as the IDF is actually insane.
He's right on this point but the rest of his comment is just bothsiding a genocide.
Sorry you had to deal with these types of people in this thread.
الله يوفقك يا صاحبي
And is it working?
Point being, the whole "genocide" thing is useless because people don't care. No one thinks they're committing a genocide. If you went to Nazi Germany, they'd tell you the holocaust is not a genocide, it's a security measure or something like that. Just like you probably don't look at Oct. 7 as a genocide. It's the same thing. We're all human, we're all easily tricked into being monsters.
You're mixing up what people say and what they think. Biden and Blinken both denied the war crimes and the genocide, and we have evidence that they knew what it was. Nazi Germany might have spread propaganda about security, but they DEFINITELY knew they were exterminating entire "races". Maybe not the randos in the streets, but anyone operating in a camp or the government.
Propaganda is not what these people actually believe, it's the tool they use to give cowards plausible deniability. Those participating actively, and those not stopping it.
Yes, there are people who are in fact monsters.
so..what's being Palestinian got to do with your message other than showing your opinion is biased?
also, thanks for giving your broad opinion of a nuanced political system you have little understanding of. Feels good to hear someone blame me for the deaths of people just by doing the only thing I can do.
maybe next time you try to make someone feel like shit you should probably blame them for something they actually did instead of pulling bullshit out of your imagination because it sounds edgy.
Being biased against Zionists is a good thing.
"Bias" makes it sound like there isn't a completely impartial case to be made against them. Like the most meticulously documented genocide in human history.
Just scrolling through the comments here, people's takes vary from bad to good, but everyone's comment is only as long as the text they wrote. Then you jam this huge, not really relevant meme into discussion of an actual life or death issue for millions of people, which is just playing off of a pun on the name "John Goodman". And your comment isn't any better. You make a bunch of really off-base, unsubstantiated attacks on the guy you're replying to. You don't really seem to understand why they even brought up being Palestinian. You ignore the 100% legitimate criticism that you voted for someone complicit in genocide, brushing it off as "the only thing you could do" (it wasn't). Then you accuse them of trying to sound "edgy".
Buddy, your comment is bleeding "trying to sound edgy". What is this meme doing here? Where is your sense of responsibility or shame? You are joking about a genocide.
Another asshole to the blocklist. Oh what do you know, another lemmy.world fascist.
Nothing like having third party resources blocked by default.
Hey to any Palestinians out there I promise I will never let losers like the above person rest in peace.
thanks person without much to live for.
I'm sure the imaginary people you were talking to would be happy! You can finally dedicate your life to something that can truly help them in their time of need.
how many Palestinians do to plan to save with your brave acts?
