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.

British and Americans forming the new Axis powers is certainly an ironic development. Will London be bombing Germany this time?
It said “many media outlets, individuals and other community stakeholders initially understood [the letter] to be a statement of the board”.
Its code of conduct required deputies not to misrepresent the position of the board and not to bring the institution into disrepute, it added.
The investigative panel unanimously found the 36 signatories to be in breach of the code.
THE HOLY STATE OF ISRAEL and its HOLIEST WAR against the unwashed, disgusting subhuman vermin that just incidentally happened to have been living there already in 1948 when the state was formed SHALL NOT BE DISPARAGED. Thus this board finds any objection to this cleansing to be out of line, and will send a sternly worded letter to 31 of the 36, while choosing 5 at random to suspend in order to make examples of. DEUS VULT, GOTT MIT UNS etc etc
The letter said “Israel’s soul is being ripped out” by military action that renewed in March, and that the signatories could no longer “turn a blind eye or remain silent” on the issue.
How does that even "bring the institution into disrepute"?
The Institution proudly stands with Israel as a racist, neonazi oppressor of the already downtrodden. Any voiced disputes against this stance The Institution takes from members of The Institution will not be allowed, and will be consequently punished as evidenced by these 5 members specifically.
In that way.
How does that even "bring the institution into disrepute"?
Reasonable people (read: anti-zionists and neutral non-zionists) would argue the exact opposite.
Alas, a lifetime of pro apartheid propaganda (as in "in favor of apartheid" AND "professional apartheid apologists ") is a hell of a drug..
cope is a hell of a drug.
what to do when all the propaganda we've all been spoonfed since birth turns out to be false?
how will any one respond when everything we knew in our hearts to be true isn't?
will we change our views?
or will we remain as footnotes on a postcard from nowhere, as staunch nazi apologists and supporters of capitalist imperialism and subjugation globally?
time will tell for each.
