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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Odd that all these Western governments started pushing for mass surveillance.... around the same time their citizens widely stopped supporting Israel due to it's genocide against Palestine.
Coincidence?
Maybe. Maybe not.
The push towards authoritarianism can be explained without DA JEWWWWZZZZZ making all the calls behind the curtains. You know you can just critique the Israeli government and hate the genocide without antisemitism.
The authoritarian push is more likely to make opposition against our technofascist overlords harder and help them extract the last value from the rest, before capitalism collapses.
Oh look, another dipshit playing along with the Zionist narrative that Israel means "the Jews" instead of just a fascist, Zionist, imperialist shithole that attacks all of its neighbors and promotes fascism and state surveillance globally.
Hey dumb fuck, nobody here was being antisemitic. You pulled that right out of your ass, ironically, because I pointed out people are turning on Israel for their genocides and imperialism.
AND the fact our politicians have woken up to the fact they can no longer control the narrative with a free and open internet, with the greatest example being people turning on Israel
No, nowadays i just see so many people who equate israel with dajewwzz, that it's become a reflex to point it out, that it's not the case.
Thanks for clarifying your position, nuance is important. Maybe try it without dipshits and dumbfucks next time, this might make you look better.
What the fuck is this moronic way of typing "the Jews"? Are you 12?
That is entirely a you problem. You're making an ass of yourself with stupid assumptions.
...maybe try not being a dipshit and a dumbfuck?
Every time any conversation is attempted to be had involving genuine criticism of Israel, not only is it bombarded with Zionist NPCs vomiting every tired Israeli propaganda talking g point, but its also bombarded with dumb asses like you falling for the Zionist propaganda that even suggesting Israel does any wrong, or holds great power over western nations, is a dogwhistle for antisemitism.
Why don't you stop fucking participating in any such conversation? All you're doing is helping the genocidal Israeli cause.
Hey dipshit, you came in here spewing the Zionist defense with zero reason to do so whatsoever. The bar isn't lower than you.
Ok, cool.
