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.

You still haven't addressed that 'blanket ban' thing you said. After lamenting the poor quality of discourse.
I like how you completely dodged what I just said. What is there to address about the blanket ban? A country is banning all travel from another country. It doesn't get more "blanket" than that.
Ah, and now the dishonesty. That is not what people mean when they say a blanket ban on travel and I'm sure you're not stupid, so you know that.
There's a reason that the AP article linked above doesn't use that term in this case.
I don't know, how about something like, "okay, I didn't mean 'blanket ban,' that was wrong of me."
But, of course, this is the internet and admitting your wrong is the worst thing ever, so I won't be holding my breath.
Haha what? They're banning all Israeli passport holders. Do you have some special definition of "blanket ban" that you manipulate to suit your purposes?
Called it.
Uhh yeah OK, congrats on winning this argument based on your made-up definition of "blanket ban". Go ahead and celebrate with Donald Trump, who wanted to enact the same against muslim-majority coountries.
What are you even talking about?

You linked me to a page where the word 'blanket' is never used?
I mean you could have done a quick control-F like I did...
Here's one on the same topic with "blanket": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13769
What definition of "blanket ban" are you using here? This is a pretty good one, I think:
I think it's a little late to start to expect me to use your sources when you're so against admitting you're wrong that you couldn't even admit the fact that your link didn't actually support your claim.
Am I being pranked here? This conversation is absolutely bonkers.
Wow dude, you just keep saying dumb things
