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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Man Fritz learn to shut the fuck up
Friedrich Merz is a German politician and lawyer who became Chancellor of Germany in 2025. He is a leader of the Christian Democratic Union .
Knew shit like this would happen after the rise of the AfD far right party.
yeah really Interesting to see Germany reaffirming its commitment to Israel amidst controversy over the Gaza offensive. How does this align with Germany's human rights record?
controversy over the Gaza offensive.
Genocide.
Germany swung right in the last election, AfD have been making gains for about a decade, things will probably continue to get worse until they can swing the opposite direction. If they can.
I frankly don't see how this has to do anything with anything. Merz has also openly criticised Israel and, at least briefly, halted arms exports to them. It's also news to me that being pro-Israel is a (far-)right thing in Germany.
For obvious reasons, Israel and Jews in general are a very touchy topic in Germany and German politics. Until the recent developments in Gaza, it was really hard to find any politician at all that would speak critical of Israel. That is probably because Israel and their institutions tend to respond very harshly to any criticism, and whatever you would said was guaranteed to backfire.
This has somewhat changed since it became hard to deny they are doing some pretty fucked up stuff over there. Blocking arms sales to Israel, even ever so briefly, could be described as a monumental policy shift from the formerly near-unconditional support that Israel was used to.
Being pro-Israel is a far right thing everywhere, because being far right involved racial and religious supremacy, in the case of western nations that means pro-white and anti-islam. Even China has enabled Israel by vetoing ceasefires in March 2024 and abstaining from the more recent UNSC vote.
Do not conflate Jewish people and Israel, that is what Israel wants.
The atrocities in Gaza and Westbank, and Jordan and even Iran (although Iran dictatorship are also a bunch of bags of dicks themselves), have certainly escalated but they are ongoing and were not brief in any definition because Palestine has been constantly shrinking since the very start.
Dogshit.
