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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

After October 7 it will be at least a decade before Israel can come out of bunker mentality. You might be ignoring how horrific the actions of Hamas were on that day. I admit I couldn't get though all of the horrific things they did that day, it was insane. But Israelis are well aware of what happened. Having millions of people typing on the internet sympathizing with Hamas probably doesn't help in getting them out of the bunker mentality. We're still a long way from the truth and reconciliation that's needed, but any step in that direction (even a baby step) is something that should be welcomed.
I don't want to see another Gaza war in a decade or two. We've already seen how that works out, it doesn't go well for anyone, especially for Palestinians. But on the internet it's just a constant thirst for more violence, as long as it's someone other than the person posting the comments that's going to die because of it.
I don't think this one is a fault of the internet tbh
Social media is all emotional manipulation all the time. Are you capable of thinking of the Gaza war in rational terms or only in emotional terms? Why is it you can only think of it as an emotional issue?
The social media algorithms send you a constant stream of content that keeps you emotional all the time. They aren't trying to inform you of anything, they want to keep you emotional so you'll keep on doomscrolling so they can keep on showing you ads.
You'll never know what's happening in a conflict on the other side of the world. You'll only get curated emotional content. That doesn't result in any kind of understanding.
Constantly consuming this kind of content will turn you into a hateful person. The tech bros don't care, as long as you keep consuming, they keep making money.
