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.

It’s Xitter, where X is pronounced as “sh”. And Iran is a bit behind in technology, OK?
Who writes these cringy headlines? Why would this be even remotely classified as "trolling"?
Supreme leader with le epic troll
That's right, taunt the nation that just activated 300k troops & already has good reason to hate you.
I've seen theories that the attacks were timed and motivated to drive a wedge in the normalization talks between Saudi Arabia and Israel, which would also be a huge problem for Iran. So, yeah, seems like they would also have motive to fan those flames.
le epic troll xD
u mad bro? (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has taken aim at Israel over social media in a first-ever Hebrew-language message posted on X, formerly Twitter, as the country continues to battle with a comprehensive attack launched by Hamas over the weekend.
The message followed a televised speech earlier Tuesday in which Khamenei lauded Hamas for its brazen, multi-pronged assault that has killed more than 1,000 Israelis since Saturday.
Then, in August 2021, Shamkhani again twice channeled Hebrew on the platform to discuss a recent conversation with his Russian counterpart regarding Afghanistan, Syria and the Persian Gulf, and to assert that Israel would be expelled from the West Bank.
While Iranian authorities have largely restricted access to X outside the use of third-party tools, a number of government officials and prominent figures continue to use the platform.
X applied a label to an English-language post by Khamenei on Saturday that stated "God willing, the cancer of the usurper Zionist regime will be eradicated at the hands of the Palestinian people and the Resistance forces throughout the region" alongside a video purporting to show a large gathering of Palestinians running in the initial stages of the Hamas attack, saying the post "violated the X rules."
X owner Elon Musk weighed in on Sunday, saying "Khamenei's official position is clear that the eradication of Israel is the actual goal, not just supporting Palestinians."
