World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

That would be pretty damning in its own right, right? What is this dude even trying to argue?
It seems like concern trolling. "I'm just worried that people will interpret you hating on this genocidal military as if it's exactly the same thing as calling for the death of an ethnic group because only that ethnic group is allowed to participate in this genocidal military!"
It's such a bizarre argument
Concern trolling is exactly what they're doing, you nailed it. Yet another page out of the zio playbook.
Damn, you're so smart, totally decrypted me. I guess wanting for lemmy to not get on their radar and become ruined by bad media attention is now zionism. Oh well, gotta shave my hair now, or whatever the fuck they're doing with their heads. Anyway, back to my eastern european rural cabin to spread more zionism
Except you keep making shit up from thin air. I never said such things, you said them as a strawman argument.
Speaking of making shit up: provide an example of a child serving in the IDF.
Uhh, what?
I said calling for death against entire IDF is extremism, which basically equals to calls for genocide (falls under the definition).
You calling for such action means there is no IDF. Israel with no defence means they will get overrun and obliterated by everyone around. This includes large amounts of children. When that happens, nations around the world (especially US) will join the war, which will see even more children deaths. This is basic common sense, chain of thought thinking and geopolitics 101.
Maybe, just maybe, we should all calm the fuck down instead of becoming them, but that isn't really my point here, I simply want lemmy users to realize they're being watched. Be careful with your choice of words.
