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.

No shit sherlock. I do feel that this empty rhetoric is psychological comfort to convince Western elites who are complicit in the genocide, as well as their voters, that they are civilized and moral.
Us in Australia are almost universally disgusted by what Israel is doing, and we hold 'Murica in pretty damned low esteem too
For those unfamiliar with Prime Minister Albanese:
- Founding member and secretary of Parliamentary Friends of Palestine around 2000^[https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/05/29/protester-prime-minister-anthony-albanese-israel-palestine/]
- Complicit in the zionist regime's recent invasions and ongoing genocide in Gaza
- Australia trades with the regime, and arrested port protesters and members of the Maritime Union of Australia, including the leader of the Sydney branch
- Australia is the sole exporter of the F-35 bomber fuselage
- Australia repeatedly supported the invasion through UN voting
I also lost quite a bit of respect for Penny Wong when she wasn't willing to condemn this at the outset: Israel's order to cut food and water from Gaza difficult to judge from afar, says Foreign Minister Penny Wong
Though to be fair, Dutton was never going to be a better option.

Luckily we're not trapped in a two-party dichotomy, Liberal's opinions are slowly mattering less and less and minor candidates are getting more of the pie.
Just fyi, you didn't format the link correctly. You have to do [text].(link) without the dot.
Lemmy's web UI formats it as a footnote^[1]^, I didn't realise other apps might not read that formatting:
That's interesting, didn't know that. I don't think it's part of the standart markdown format, so a lot of clients will probably not render it.
Polls must have shown it's popular to stand with Palestine.
I like the Albanese government but it is very quiet when there is an issue that conflicts with the parties values or donors.
He did not say it with hashtags, why has that been added?
The hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.
