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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Can you quit doing holocaust trivialisation? Attrocities have been commited under every ideologies (wanna talk about Congo?). Nazis were the only ones with the explicit goal of ethnic purity
Jesus Fuck, you tankies are god damned children with your logic. More than one thing can be, and in fact are and have been and will be, bad while other things have happened that are also just as bad, if not worse, while not diluting other events, you get that, right? There is more than one atrocity you should be aware of throughout history and every government has been objectively fucking awful, stop sucking so much authoritarian dick. You fuckers are kowtowing cowards.
Whine harder sweetie you might make a point.
I found it utterly scummy to have westerners whine about China while their country is making bank off the genocide in gaza. What have you done beside whining on the internet

You're a brainwashed idiot who cares a lot about genocide as long as it aligns with your first world interests lmao
You're a genocide voters and when your loved one will be bombed with white phosphorus I won't have the slightest empathy lmao
Fuck off you tanky piece of shit. Learn about context and irony, you idiot fuck.
Also, insulting someone by saying they support genocide to only then say you want their country to be genocided. You are quite literally not only a supporter of genocide, but an advocate for it. Fuck you, you genocidal authoritarian boot licking scum.
AHAHAHAHAH the bitchtard from a genocidal country thinks he's in position to call out anything
You're a terrible person asshole
Pointing out other atrocities in history that are just as, if not more horrific, is not trivialization. The Holocaust is one of the worst events in history, no doubt about it. That being said there are other atrocities in history that have reached that levels in either ruthlessness, death toll, or both. Ignoring the other atrocities in history would just be us trivializing them.
Yes, they have, and yes, we should talk about them. Belguim's atrocities in the Congo aren't talked about nearly enough.
No, this is false. The idea of ethnic purity is something that has been around for a long time. The only unique thing about the Nazis was that they industrialized mass killings while carrying out their genocides.
That's not what I said. I said the Nazi state explicit goal was racial purity. Communists, Christians, Liberals have all done genocide IN SPITE OF their stated goal and doctrine. The nazis did it because it was their plans all along
You come back to this post after 4 months for whatever reason just to write this? Wow, whatever education system you went through failed you because your level of ignorance is genuinely painful.
I'll explain in the simplest way that I can. Ethnic purity as a concept has existed long before Nazi Germany. There have been countless ideologies before Nazism about getting rid of ethnic minorities to achieve this goal, and a lot of them have been enacted. Want examples? Look at the Armenian genocide or the Circarssian genocide or Holodomor or the Assyrian genocide or the endless of racially motivated genocides before the Nazis. The point is that the Nazis were NOT the first to commit genocide with the explicit goal of ethnic purity.
Read my message again retard.
