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.

Curse you, Israel! How dare you get people to call those doing Nazi salutes Nazis in Australia with your... kabbalistic magic?
More like Israel why do you show your population non-stop propaganda & conscript them to join your military & engage in psyops & social media influence on your behalf. This is all verifiable on Wikipedia BTW with references.
Also no one cares that they get called Nazis. I care when you start locking people up for expressing themselves in ways that are non violent. Lock up all the Nazis assaulting people you want, but when you start assaulting people for what they wear or hand signs they make, then you become the violent criminal.
Sorry... which are you saying, that Israel's behavior forces people to make Nazi salutes when they otherwise wouldn't or that everyone who makes Nazi salutes is secretly an Israeli operative?
Also, a Nazi salute is a pretext to violence. You want to wait until someone is actually beaten to death before the arrests start?
No, I'm saying that Israel runs psyops.
You know what is actual violence? Punching people in the face. Everyone has the potential to become violent. That doesn't mean you can go around punching everyone in the face. Go ask the cops they'll help explain it to you if you need help understanding the concept.
...and the authoritarian emerges from their shell.
Oh right, you are pro criminal. I forgot that you defend the rapist.
You will not find a single quote of me ever defending any rapist. You can search my entire history and not find one.
You either know this and are lying or never checked and are lying.
Why do people insist on lying about me to my face?
You called me authoritatian for mentioning police. Your idea of having no police is a very pro-rape thing to say. If you don't like it then don't call me authoritarian for mentioning law enforcement.
I have no idea why you think that makes it okay to lie about me, but I called you an authoritarian because you wanted me to go to the police.
That's what you said.
And for some reason you think that justifies lying about me defending rapists. Have you considered therapy?
You're lying about me by calling me an authoritarian bruh, and you know what increases crime like rape? Having no law enforcement.
Asking someone who applies the law if your theory that you can be violent towards people that haven't committed a crime is the smartest thing you can do before you go commit crime.
I based it on the literal words you used. Which I quoted.
What are you basing your claim I defend rapists on? Did the elves tell you about it?
You called me authoritarian for telling you to ask the cops about your theory of being allowed to commit crime because you think someone may have the potential to become violent.. If you think people should be able to commit crime cause they feel like it & that talking to cops is authoritarian, then you support rapists. Do you believe that & if so you support rapists.
Got it. The elves told you.
The therapist thing was projection. Got it.
Nice try, but when you're in therapy and suggest someone else also needs therapy, it is not projection.
When I am misinterpreted and upset about being misinterpreted, I don't accuse other people of supporting rapists... but I am sorry I misinterpreted you.
I have a feeling you will not apologize for the claim that I defend rapists. In fact, I fully expect you to double-down on it.
Either that or walk away as if this conversation never happened.
But please do surprise me.
You called me authoritarian because I said you should ask the cops a question. You want an apology for what I said then apologize for what you said.
What?
I literally apologized:
I misinterpreted you as saying something authoritarian. I was wrong. Again, I am sorry.
Let me guess- apologize again but do it in the right way. Anything but either prove that I support rapists or admit I don't.
Don't worry though, I will just bring up the fact that you have yet to prove I support any rapists like you claimed whenever you talk to me from now on. Just so you won't forget that you lied about it and wouldn't go back on the lie. Unless you finally do. I won't be holding my breath.
Okay then. I misinterpreted you as saying talking to police is authoritarian as being pro-crime, therefore enabling rapists. I was wrong. I am sorry.
It was not a misinterpretation and you know it. You said it as a deliberate insult.
But I you saying you "misinterpreted me" as "saying talking to the police is authoritarian as being pro crime, therefore enabling rapists" is the closest you will ever come to admitting that I do not defend (not enable, defend) the rapist.
But then admitting what you actually did was accuse me of being a proud Trump supporter would be too honest of you, so I'll take what I can get.
I'd say be better, but you won't.
I bet you also won't say anything about the fact that you claimed someone who is in therapy is "projecting" when they say someone else needs therapy either, but I'll let that one go.
Being against cops altogether does enable & defend rapist from punishment. I wish you the best in your therapy though.
You can talk to your therapist about it.
