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.

Imagine living in a free country and having access to pretty much every information you want and then making fun of people in an authoritarian dictatorship being blown up because they went to the memorial of the guy who was held up as a martyr and hero by their propaganda, probably more so than anyone else.
Also really shows that you have no values when you think an attack like that on trumples would be no big deal, maybe even funny. Being radicalized and stupid doesn't mean you should die either.
Would you offer the same compassion if this was in Germany 1944? A bunch of people suckered into propaganda celebrating the memory of a Nazi general?
I’d hope not.
Oh I don’t think it’d be no big deal, I think it would be amazing news to hear a bunch of trump supporters died.
Being dangerous means you should die, Trump or Iran regime supporters are not simply people with different views they are actively wanting to kill people for thing such as being LGBTQ+.
As a german I get ultra triggered whenever people with American brainrot pretend to know anything about my countries history. You don't. Did we deserve to get bombed in the way the allies did? Yes, probably. Would the allies have been justified to slaughter civilians on a memorial like that? Fuck no.
Trumptards are more morally culpible than people who live in highly censored authoritarian countries, yet that doesn't mean I want them to die. If you believe in reform for anyone, that should be obvious to you. If you disagree, might as well advocate for putting everyone who ever went to prison in a woodchipper.
Sorry, no sympathy for the people who want to kill me for just exisiting, propaganda or not.
Aight, sounds like something the Isreali rightwingers would say when blowing up civilians in Gaza to justify their actions...
It's a memorial, not a parade. Your comment is scary.
Still is a memorial
Same difference. Only losers celebrate the military.
