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.
-
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.

Animal farmers are much more likely to prevent this specific famine - when you're displaced from your home, there is no chance you'll harvest and bring your crops. There is a chance you can bring some animals with you.
I understand your point, but there's a time and place for that, and that is absolutely not here.
Now is the time. You sound like the people who complain about calls for gun laws after mass shootings.
Dude, there is no food shortage due to too much animal farming in this conflict. There is food shortage because one state is trying to genocide the people of another state. Even if all of Palestine and the whole world were fully vegan, Gazans wouldn't have more to eat.
Please explain to me how your point is in any way applicable. You are literally making vegans look stupid, and I'm saying that as someone who is trying to move closer and closer towards veganism. Imagine you posted this under a news article regarding a school shooting - would you think that's the right place and time to post this, even if the time is now?
This is the time, any later and it's too late.
Stop pretending you are the voice of reason when really you're just selfish and lazy.
You, personally, are a net negative voice for this movement. If you never spoke of veganism again, you'd have a more positive impact than if you continue what you're doing. The way you're acting is responsible for the deaths of more animals than you're preventing.
Genuinely amazing how commited you are as to lying to yourself. Pretend that I'm the problem. Wow. I don't care if I change your mind, I have very little doubt about that. I've tried, but I'm still allowed my platform the same way you are, or don't you believe in free speech?
Yeah, I can see how you're trying - even if I wanted to, I couldn't pretend to be a worse activist than you are. But sure, keep killing those innocents with your cowardly behaviour - after all, you have FREE SPEECH! And those darn innocents, who are they to tell you what to say and not say?
One day you'll realise how shitty a human you are, choosing to eat our only companions in this universe.
You, personally, are responsible for more animal deaths than I could ever be. You're either incredibly stupid, or you know how ineffective and negative your activism is, yet you choose to still pursue it because it makes you feel good to think of yourself as better than others. You could also just be an incredibly evil person, but you don't seem like you' have the mental capacity for that.
You're not doing this for animals or humans. You're doing this for yourself, despite all the innocent animals you're responsible for murdering through your misguided activism.
Wow lie more to yourself. Your accusations and denials mean nothing to me.
