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.

The only thing I disagree with is your use of the word "confuse". They aren't confused, they know what they are doing. It really isn't that hard to keep two ideas in your head
Islam has the second highest body count of any religion. More people have died from it than every religion of humanity accept Christianity. It is fundamentally, on the text level, a violent faith. That doesnt mean anything about people born into it. You can have a violent god and not be a violent person.
You just said something bad about Islam on Lemmy 4 hours ago, and it isn't taken down yet.
I dunno. Maybe I just think people are dumber and more susceptible to crafting an online identity that is “more” than other people with the same identity. But who knows, maybe you’re right and people know they’re being racist, antisemitic, etc.
What’s that old saying? Never assume malice when ignorance is possible? Something to that effect. I think people get so lost (completely unwittingly) in crafting their online identities. They see people or outlets they like pushing a certain viewpoint, and these people naturally want to be more of that identity. It’s being completely unoriginal, unthinking while also craving “unique” identity within the circles they see. They want those upvotes, those likes, that engagement, and see 60% of a concept, so lean toward 100%—the problem with this stupid kind of thinking is that 60% is a just, humanistic view (or, on the right, an angry, couched view) while 100% is full blown prejudice.
There’s no one answer, but I firmly believe this accounts for a good amount of the ignorance we see online these days.
