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.

Read about Operation Wooden Leg. They bombed tunisia in 85 with 15 fighter jets. 68 has died
This is terrorism, terrorism perpetrated by the same authorities that use everything as a leverage to counter terrorism. Our governments are rigged to the core and evil, it's about time people comes to term with it.
It's not terrorism if the government does it. /s
Check the propaganda on r/worldnews people because it's insane
Previous Lemmy post said it was an Israeli drone and Greta thunberg was on board. Then there was some debate over whether there was a drone or not.
For those of us who don’t want to go to Reddit, what is r/worldnews saying?
How does this person watch the video of a flaming object clearly falling from the sky and come to the conclusion that it started on the boat?
Ill give you a hint, it rhymes with “gastroturfing”
gastroturfing
You mean like when you cover your yard in vomit?
Gastroturfing sounds like it would be a portmanteau for when terrible restaurants pad their reviews online with fake ones, so they look better than they are
To distract from how their awful food made you cover your yard in vomit 🤝
Sounds like the ghost kitchens that were popular during COVID. Iirc places like Applebee's would create branding for a new business (cosmic wings in Applebee's case) and just sell Applebee's products via door dash under that new 'exotic' name.
Well that's a new term I don't think we needed.
The same way they can make a statement like "they can lie like this and know they will lose zero international support" while defending Israel. Every accusation is a confession with these people.
In one video you can hear the buzz of a drone getting closer until explosion, in other you can see a flaming object falling straight down exactly like an incendiary device dropped from a drone. The only way could be more obvious is if the drone itself was on video.
Went a head and had a look. And I thought the cognitive dissonance on Instagram was bad.
"Guys it's just the unfortunate result of war"
A lot of denial, victim blaming and screeching about fake news.
In fact, the only front page article I see on that subreddit is of Tunisia denying that the flotilla was hit by a drone.
Then everyone reacts, calling her dumb and racist and talking about how cool Tunis is, so when you search on tik tok for Tunis, you just get the drama about this instead of war crimes...
Israel is a misserable terrorist country, US is misserable terrorist harboring country. What a time to be alive.
Doesn't look to be a drone, but a flare coming down?
