A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Oh I remember this episode.
that's too slow. Marshal law by end of week after the invasion of Mexico.
I like how people say “Eat the rich” and “attack and vandalize musk product” and also the “boycott usa product” But then “i am with trump on this, houthies shouldnt attack ships because it affect economy”
Houthies this time stood for what they believe in “if you blockade aid to enter gaza, we will continue blockade on international goods through the red sea”
You really dont know why people say "eat the rich" and "boycott usa product" but have issues supporting an internationally recognized terrorist organization?
So what, as long as I support Palestine, I'm free to attack random ships without repercussions? Give me a fucking break.
I can agree that we ought to not blockade the people of Gaza while also believing another group ought not shoot missiles at innocent shipping in an effort to raise awareness for the first group.
It’s not cognitive dissonance.
What, participating in one genocide isn't enough for Trump? Now he has to join Bonesaw's one against the Yemenis too?
The US has been selling weapons to Saudi Arabia for a long time and hasn't stopped even with the genocide in Yemen starting in 2014. There are 3 Presidents that are complicit in this, so he isn't really joining the genocide just ramping up US involvement.
I wonder how long the world is going to be okay with America using deadly violence in the Middle East as a way to mask and deflect from domestic turmoil? At least our “coalition of the willing (to commit war crimes)” is getting smaller.
Houthis the leaders of the free world. What a timeline.
Ah yes, one of Iran’s proxies - leaders of the free world and gender apartheid /s
Ffs people…
Yes, the people standing up to genocide.
Say some words about headscarves and trans people while America and Israel are actively massacring the very people you are pretending to defend.. You must care so much about them.
It’s a lot less simple than you’re trying to make it out to be. I don’t support what Israel and the US are doing either, for your information.
Just don’t see how Iran or any of their proxies should be idolized considering their longstanding abuse of human rights among even just their own.
They do much worse than just put women in headscarves, if you’re not aware.
