A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

If Biden doesn't continue doing this he is not going to get reelected.
Despite full Israeli support for Trump, for some reason the Democrats still continue to support their genocide and violate every law in the book doing so. Maybe this is not about the elections after all.
Maybe this is some conspiracy shit I'm about to say, but maybe we should look at the common denominators here? Fill in the blanks with your topic of choice.
Both the Democrats and the Republicans have a shared interest in __________.
Breathing oxygen and drinking water.
Shocked. Shocked I am that it was just a political performance. Again.
Are we going to get another USAID report directly contradicting the decision again too?
My only regret is that I have but one vote to give Jill Stein
Am I the only one who thinks that the US is the lapdog of Israel?
Yes you are, because Israel literally cannot exist without US support. It's a tiny nation, completely surrounded by countries who want to kill every single person that resides in Israel, with the equivalent GDP output of just the state of Massachusetts.
So in your eyes, Israel is the sole victim here? But then how come all those international humanitarian organisations seem to disagree with you and paint completely different pictures on the reality on the ground?
But i was told repeatedly, that Biden/Harris were only toeing the line bc. of the election and once it was over, they would change things?
Turns out the whole ordeal was yet another piss poor maneuver to lie to the people, just like that "aid pier" that ended up being used for IDF instead.
Biden and Harris will do nothing to stop Israel. They made a whole fuzz, now to have this very explicit "red line" not just to stepped over, but rolled over with a bulldozer. There is no red lines for this administration.
They haven proven once and for all, that they are no better than Trump for the Palestinians.
What a damn farce this is.
Are they hoping more bombs help the situation?
