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.

MODERATORS
User hat:
You deleted a comment I made because you said it was incivil (not going to repeat it, but it's in the modlog)
Was it because I pointed out that they were denying a genocide?
That's the only thing that was remotely personal, and if that breaks the rules is it acceptable to instead just link sources explaining how Israel is committing a genocide?
Genocidal denial is just a pretty big deal in my eyes, so I want to know how mods are ok with addressing it. I felt that I was following the sidebar by commenting on the argument and not the user, but apparently I misunderstood something.
I wouldn't have mentioned it, by their comment denying genocide is literally just a few comments down this chain...
I love how the user you called that immediately proved they were one and wouldn't listen.
You are free to explain why someone is denying genocide. You are not free to make that accusation because you do not know the reasoning behind their statements. People have the right to disagree that something is happening and be wrong. People also have a right to be ignorant about a subject and make ignorant statements. You, as a user, have a right to tell them why they are wrong or why their statement is not true.
You do not have the right to accuse someone of supporting genocide unless they are making a statement that calls for violence. That is against the rules. The comment you responded to did not call for violence.
I do not agree with their claim that genocide is not happening. People denied the Holocaust was happening while it was happening. That doesn't mean they would have marched Jews into the ovens themselves if they had the chance.
If you disagree with my moderation, you are free to report it to the admins.
And that is the end of this discussion.
Wait now it's uncivil to point out a genocide denier?
You are free to go to the modlog and see the comment that was deleted and see that it was clearly not a civil comment.
You can also see the many other uncivil comments that got removed, including many of OP's comments.
Edit: OP was also banned while the person complaining was not.
I've read it a few times and honestly agree with OP that only that part reads as uncivil so I am confused
If you think "just casually denying genocide?" is a civil way to respond to someone, I guess you will continue to be disappointed.
Yes when that's exactly what they are doing in their comments and comment history.
Well then I guess you will continue to be disappointed, as will the person who complained to me.
I was tired of the slap fight and deleted a lot of comments, including most of OP's comments and then banned OP.
You'd think people would be happy OP was banned. Apparently not.
Edit: I should also note that the particular user who is complaining gets flagged constantly, their comments rarely deleted, and I know I've never banned them, so I'm sorry you both think I'm treating them so horribly.
Again Happy you banned the asshole Ani account just confused why fucks had comment removed.
Now I forsee lots of zionist shill accounts pushing for comments to be removed or accounts to be banned when people point out them denying the genocide
So all the people (including YourPrivatHater) who accuse others of being antisemitic are also breaking this rule, aren't they?
They do not know the reasoning behind the statement that prompted the accusation and it is very uncivil to say that. How can that be different?
Their posts accusing people of being antisemitic were deleted and they were banned, so yes. They also broke that rule.
I just reported two more. Lots more coming your way soon I'm sure, lol
Edit: sorry you're right, I think I can just still see them on sync
You reported two which have already been deleted. Your instance has apparently not caught up yet. You should see the modlog.
Yeah I understand now, apologies for the mistake
No worries.
