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.
-
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.

MODERATORS
I gave you two. Squeaky Fromme and Kyle Rittenhouse.
If you're going to gaslight me, try harder.
Forgot about this, did you?
And again. I gave you thousands.
No, I didn't forget about it. But you're pretending the comment I made after that doesn't exist. It's some pretty pathetic gaslighting, I must say.
I'm really not gaslighting you. I've been doing nothing but giving you explanations on why thousands of children feel compelled to hate a nation half a world away and you're doing everything you can to dance around the topic without directly acknowledging it.
It's clear this back and forth is pointless as you don't want to acknowledge the real reason why countries like Yemen have all these militia groups who all hate the US. I'll just leave you with this to think on however. In something like 5-10 years, when you see an influx in terrorist attacks on western nations. Similar to what we say in the 2010s, which were caused by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which were caused by 9/11, which were in turn caused by US interference in topics like Israel and the Gulf War. I'll just ask you to remember this conversation, and think on why this cycle of violence keeps getting repeated and where it keeps coming from.
You acted like I never mentioned Kyle Rittenhouse despite mentioning him twice. You even outright suggested I only gave you one name.
That's called gaslighting.
I didn't even read past that first sentence. You clearly have an honesty problem.
No, I didn't acknowledge the Squeaky Fromme example for the reasons I provided to you in a previous comment. Maybe actually read my comments before jumping to conclusions? Blindly accusing someone of something is not a good trait to have, especially from someone who's been entrusted to moderate communities like this one.
And now you're lying about the conversation.
"Forgot about this, did you?" linked directly to my Squeaky Fromme comment. Directly to it.
All I can say is you're damn lucky I'm not the moderator dealing with this thread because I'm done with your trolling and gaslighting.
Re-read your screenshot. This is just getting sad.
