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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

OP's post history contains exclusively pro -China and anti-Western propaganda narratives, but this here has a special spin. Not that condemning Israel's atrocities is wrong, but while posting this here OP's communities literally celebrating Russia's atrocities against Ukrainian civilians or China's genocide against people in Tibet, East Turkistan (Xinjiang), and Inner Mongolia.
As one study says:
It's a deeply repugnant mindset.
Every time someone calls out Israel we get people discounting it because they are not perfect, and project motives.
Every time. Suspicious no? All the shit to discount, corporations funding fake science to poison to save a buck, you cancel an israel critic for an alleged lack of purity.
That doesn't happen 'every time' nor is it about discounting Israel's war crimes or what you call a 'lack of purity.' Just read OP's post history. It's a devastating testimony for a lack of any ethics.
I know we should be friendly and polite here, but celebrating violence against innocent people because they perceive them as 'enemies' is - at best - brainwashed, and it is mentally derailed at worst. Just read the linked study or go to the comms and read the posts there yourself.
Israel is the most ratfucked online discussion. Legions of mechanized troll divisions scramble to any mention. Chatbots too, the newer generation ones, paid for with tax dollars. This is one of their go to moves, criticizing anyone posting anything, any media reporting anything. Al jazeera they are in a country mean to woman, and so forth. Coming from the worst people in the world.
Not only do they ratfuck the discussion, they use the corrupt influence of the US government to get people cancelled on social media. Cancelled in a way people are not told why, a different issue, not even a violation, flags the person. Whether it's mass flagging social media pretends not to see, or agencies and their contractors giving lists of accounts to violate.
Any time you find yourself on the same side as those people, you should re examine what you are doing, to prevent being tooled. There are a thousand issues you could call out right now, like Iran War 2 they are hyping.
The next wave of weird conspiracies just to distract from the topic.
As an addition: You don't need to believe me or the linked study. Just go to these communities and read their posts and comments yourself.
This is an ad hominem attack. I can abhor both the IDF and the CCP simultaneously, and this post is pro-neither. If OP posts something "repugnant", then call them out in that comment section.
Read their entire post history. The spin is absolutely clear.
