World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Do you ever have doubts about yourself, your political views, your opinions and knowledge? Do you ever think twice about what you're writing, perhaps even writing a comment and then not submitting it, because you are not sure about it anymore? I do, all the time, and while this is deeply uncomfortable, I wish you some of this discomfort as well. I think it would do you good.
Are you implying I don't? Can I ask why you'd imply that?
The person you are replying to is using a very typical social media propaganda playbook.
Ignore them and move on. They are trying to waste your time, frustrate you, and make you give up.
Yeah you're probably right.
Recently I've found them to be fascinating examples of indoctrination. I admit it's more fun to watch others engage with them but sometimes I can't help it.
Who or what do you think indoctrinated me? What do you think you know about me to come to such a conclusion?
I don't know. I guess just like your comment to me, it's the way you conduct yourself here.
You know I can read this as well, right? I have no interest in frustrating anyone. I'm frustrated enough myself, I don't need to share this misery with others.
Do you really think what I'm doing is propaganda? If you were in charge of a unit for online propaganda, would you order to someone to be doing what I'm doing, writing long rambling comments that are at no point applauding how Israel is conducting warfare, that are criticizing its government, that come without clear conclusions - in a community where what I'm doing is largely falling on deaf ears, where people like you are writing responses so insulting that even the moderators here have to step in?
You don't have to be part of some online unit to spread propaganda. Maybe you just believe some of this outrageous stuff.
You appear exceptionally confident, yet your arguments often consist of nothing but generic talking points, are paper-thin without an ounce of nuance. That's not meant to be insulting, but merely an observation.
I can't look into your mind, but that's how you are conducting yourself here. If there is any doubt, any uncertainty, any nuance in your thought, you are not sharing it - or I missed it entirely.
You mean my point being that Israel will not really leave Palestinians alone when Hamas is "eliminated" (good luck, BTW) given their incredibly long history of human rights violations, apartheid, land grabbing, and ethnic cleansing?
Seems more to me like you might be taking issues with these facts.
