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.

What prompted this tantrum?
You must have missed the part where a young German citizen was murdered. I'm a Canadian and my government is very similar to Germany's in that they're all talk. All image, but ultimately they only care about money
What do you think germany can do in this situation?
So the Germans are supporting the bad guys, including Russia. Aha, good to know!
Besides, what would you like them to do? Less talk more invasion of Palestine?
you know, the Canadian reputation has gone on for too long, you guys seem to be neo-liberals, or Genocidal fascists
Yeah I grew up being told Canada was so great, but as I got older all I see is nothing but bullshit
seems more like you have an unhealthy media diet, considering you have decided on "genocidal fascist"
How is it genocide to kill terrorists, terrorist isn't an ethnic identity. Unless you're saying that all Palestinians are terrorists, which I never said. I can tell the difference between a Hamas militant and a Palestinian civilian even if you can't. I grew up in a war, I actually lived it, unlike your modern American/colonialist couch bound ass.
you're the one calling for some revenge killing, also I couldn't care less what war you grew up in, just as little as you don't care where I'm from and just assume me to be an "American/Colonialist", unless you have any interesting opinions on Eastern Europe you want to share as well? maybe some being upset about the US stopping the dual genocides in the Balkans?
