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.

Turns out hitting the music festival was a terrible idea, because it absolutely turned everyone against them.
except half the morons around here who thought this was justified
inclkuding, apparently, the lemmy development team...a surprising development if you ask me.
Explain?
lemmy developers appear to be pro-death squad. not sure what else to say.
Is there a source of them claiming that?
The video that the NYT put out today of armed terrorists in technicals mowing down civilians from the road took years off my life. They rolled into Sderot and just shot anything that moved, which was mostly civilians along with firefighters and police.
Unfortunately, they also managed to kill a decent number of German, Thai, American, French, and other foreign nationals. Ironically, they also executed Israelis living in communes who were pressing for peace for Palestinians after the horrors of the 2014 war.
Not me
Waaa waaa waaa ~~palestine~~ terrorist supporter
Palestinians using violent means might think they're succeeding because they are actually getting landback for the first time in decades, but they fail to consider how bad it looks to me, a guy on the internet who thinks it would be better for their PR if they kept dying instead.
How does massacring hundreds at a music festival get them land back? How does parading a nude, murdered woman get them land back?
How does bombing residential buildings in Gaza help Israel fight terrorism?
The "murdered woman" you are referring to appears to be alive actually. This seems to be just another "Ghost of Kiev" "Nayirah testimony" "snake island 13" "Reichstag fire" "Mariupol drama theater" story. You Redditors really just gobble up whatever sob story the media gives you with no critical thinking at all, don't you?
She was brutalized, raped, paraded through the streets, and is currently being held hostage by Hamas who are threatening to kill her. She may not be dead, but her victimization is not a hoax. She was only presumed dead because she was last seen naked and lifeless with shattered arms and legs in the back of a truck.
The person in the video being misidentified does not change the fact they were parading a nude, murdered woman. Watch the video. How does that get them land back?
You are talking to a moron, save your breath.
Did you see how her leg was twisted over backwards? That's not a functional limb anymore. Her head was with gashes and practically naked. How is this fake to you? The video is right there, we know who it is.
I dunno EDM sucks.
As does confining millions to an open air prison
As does Israel creating Hamas
As does the current Israeli government ignoring intelligence reports because they wanted this to happen.
Speak for yourself.
Rational people recognize what a vapid facade 'music festivals for peace' are.
The 'peace' was just an excuse so rich people don't feel bad about partying.
Okay, explain how them hitting a music festival is a totally understandable and viable act of war and doesn't change your opinion on their strategy or intent.
What other kinds of civilian targets are above reproach?
What the heck? Why are you asking me to defend the attack when all I said it was a vapid display put on so rich people could feel good about themselves?
Lol.
Rich people or not... all of those people are now dead and defiled.
Your change in subject was in extremely poor taste. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain the downvotes, but here we are.
No, probably not.
Such an enlightening argument.
I guess then it was an excellent idea to shoot up a music festival.
/s
Your post speaks volumes. Imagine justifying slaughter by maligning innocent people.
Damn I agree they deserved to die for it and their families deserve to suffer
What the actual fuck?
I think they may have been utilizing sarcasm
Times like this make me think the tone indicator people were onto something.
You think? /s /s /s
Poe's Law strikes again.
I never said nor implied that.
What I said would be completely true even if there wasn't an attack.
Sure, but what you choose to focus on reveals a lot. Nothing they did was deserving of death, nor does any of it even slightly mitigate the circumstances of their death, so why it is what you choose to keep focusing on in your posts?
