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.

Sure, but whataboutism doesn't change the gravity if this situation.
Genuine question; What is whataboutism on what I said?
Zelensky said something about X You said "well he didn't do anything about Y"
That's whataboutism. You may have meant it honestly, but ultimately what that kind of argument does is attempt to reduce zelenskys response to this action by comparing it to how he may have done something not as good in a different situation.
Thanks. I wasn’t certain what I meant.
My point is; he condemns Russia but encouraged Israel to do the same thing (and worse) to Palestinians. That’s in my opinion, bullshit.
But that’s my opinion and opinions differ.
Not really, not at all actually.
See Iran, Qatar and Russian supported proxy groups reignited the Palestine-Israel conflict to derail a Israeli-Saudi peace deal (that would have benefited the Palestine Authority).

Zelensky: Israel has ‘indisputable’ right to defend itself from terror and yet no word of him about what Israel is doing now against Palestinians. It’s all in the name of self-defense, I suppose.
Your source is from the day of the attack and is worthless is this context.
I didn't see your comment till just now. Sorry you got down voted. People are dumb for down voting you because you asked a question. I saw an answer, so have an upvote friend :)
No worries, I don’t keep myself busy with up/downvote system. I actually disabled it a long while ago. Especially since it means nothing on Lemmy (as far as I know).
People downvote me because they don’t agree with my opinion, that’s all.
People down vote you because you act like someone without empathy.
Yeah and if that's what they see and/ or believe, that's okay. Like I said, I do not care about down nor upvotes. I disabled it and pay no attention to it at all (it means nothing anyway). I stick to the opinion, I have and others do so as well. That's about it, I guess.
Down and upvotes are fictional. Exit or stop using a platform that has it and then the up/downvotes has no influence. Besides that, the down/vote up on Lemmy does not restrict the user in any way.
"I don't think about downvotes at all"
I explained myself, that’s all. You seem to try to agitate me, therefore, I will ignore you from now on. Still enjoy your day though.
