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.

Criticizing and condemning Israel is like criticizing and condemning Trump. They just have so little shame and display their crimes so blatantly that it's just so stupidly simple to call it out.
And their supporters are just as revolting.
If German Nazis were running the government today, you can guarantee we'd be getting the rankest shit out of Auschwitz while some CEO at IBM insists Germany has a right to exist.
You see, Germany has a right to that land. Germans have always been refused living space by all the great powers.
They're calling it Greater Germany, folks. It's their land. The illegal Poles stole it from them. Very bad. Gotta get them OUT!
I'm not saying Romani, Slavs, and Czhechs are subhuman folks. But I've been hearing a lot of good Teutons saying it. They're excited about what we're bring to Eastern Europe. They're tired of the belly dancing. They're tired of the stealing. They're tired of the Communism. What even is a kolache? I hear its made from HOT DOGS!
Time to for a German for Germans, ladies and gentlemen. I think we all know what that means. Maybe its time we finally find a solution to this problem. I've got one. I'm not going to tell it to you, yet. But I assure you its going to Make Europe Great Again.
Hopefully this will make future war crime prosecutions easier, supposing we live long enough to ever see that day.
Well, that'll be good evidence for putting them on Interpol's red notices.
Well, this should make prosecuting them later easier.
And one hundred other jokes you can tell yourself.
