A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Turns out Ukraine is not full of Nazis but radical Islamists. Noted!
Those damned radical western Islamist nazis, the most credible of foes.
goddamn woke radical western islamist nazis! must be the handiwork of those liberals!
I think you're missing a "Jew" in here somewhere
Putin never accuses Jews. That's one thing which seems constant with him, I think one of his schoolteachers who'd protect him from bullies was Jewish or something like that.
One doesn't need to significantly modify most antisemitic conspiracy theories to remove Jews from them, frankly.
True, but Zelenskyy is Jewish, so if all of Putin's claims were true that would make him a radical islamist nazi Jew.
Jews! Hippies! Cross-dressers! Pro-choice! Indians!
Hey man, whatever puts more meat in the grinder.
Those damn gay, white, Islamist Nazis!
Obviously the evidence that it was caused by IS is too strong for him to be able to deny it, so he's just trying to shoehorn Ukraine in there.
"somehow, the emperor returned"
Meh... I'm fairly sure it's because he's weak and was against ISIS in Syria where he wants to keep a warm water naval base...
Lmao NCD leaking
Sorry, the US already used this trick.
His "truth" is stretchning thin. Are the Ukrainians now Nazis or Islamists?
Neo-Nazi radical Islamists being lead by a "peculiar kind of Jew", apparently.
And paid for by NATO, "The Americans", the CIA, whatever...
What ever suits the narrative. Just don’t think too much about it if you want it to make perfect sense
Nazi Jewish Ukraine now renamed to Nazi Jewish Islamist Ukraine.
Who gives a shit what a stupid fascist thinks?
Anyone know why the IS would be targeting Russia specifically?
Because Russia has been bombing the shit out of IS groups in Syria,and other middle eastern countries, for the last decade...
Basically this and Russia is a softer target than other countries involved like US/UK/France.
russian secret services are only good at imprisoning students and listening in on the phone calls criticizing the war
god forbid they actually have to do anything useful
That'll do it lol
