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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

“She anticipated it would cause widespread disruption across the country and said it was politically motivated and targeted her right-wing government.”
No shit, you fascist cunt.
Momma Mia that’s a spicy blockage
Italians shutting down their country to defend Palestinians and in America we can't even strike to defend ourselves.
Genuinely curious how big a factor better workers rights plays in that
Fr, wtf are we even doing?
Consuming so we can be part of the conversation.
Honestly most Americans don't even know about the blockade :(
Most Italians didn't either
Thanks Italy
More thank thanks Italians
No, they were thanking the buildings and the lampposts.
A country is represented by it's government which is a very pro israeli occupation government so yeah thank you italians and shame on you Italy
Who do you think elected the government?
The government promise all type of things then when elected then backtrack. The government should adapt the demand of the population after they are elected which in our current democratic countries we don't do
Oh, so you think what happened is that the far right government of Italy promised to help Gazans versus evil Israel, people voted for that and then the machiavelous Meloni suddenly turned and started supporting Israel?
That must have been what happened.
No, i was talking generally. The elected government doesn't always respond to the people will. The Palestine position is different : the government which represent the state is pro Israel, the people who protested Israel actions are not.
People did not vote for Meloni for being pro Israel but other issues . For example they voted for her support families but she cut investments in childcare infrastructure and social welfare
That's why I prefer saying thank you Italians rather than thank you Italy
3.3% of the country showing in one city? That's impressive.
It was 2 million across the country, not a single city. Still impressive though.
It’s hard watching others live out your dreams
Be the angry mob you wish to see in the world
