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.

Why do you call posting news articles on news zines as spam?
It is annoying seeing the exact same story appear in your feed 10 times.
Is there a way to cross-post to different zines?
Not that I know of, which is annoying.
To be clear, it's not your fault that discussion of news is spread across multiple magazines, but that doesn't change the fact that many of us end up seeing the same story 10 times rather than having it posted on one single large magazine/community.
If this was a frivolous issue, I'd be content with posting on one zine and calling it done. But this is an important topic and concerns the future of 1.4 billion people. It also concerns the erosion of democracy and the rise of fascism, all global issues,
Every news zine has a different reach and audience. Some of the audience overlap, but most don't. I can't suggest that people stop subscribing to multiple zines, neither can I cross-post. So what other option do I have to posting on multiple zines?
You don't. It's not your fault. You should be able to post it in multiple magazines/instances.
It's due to the nature of the fediverse that some of us get to see the same story multiple times.
Thank you.
Then maybe - and I know this sounds radical - just downvote and scroll past it.
Sure penalise me for the way the fediverse is structured.
That's not exactly fair either. OP isn't breaking any rules by posting it on multiple instances.
The problem is the fediverse not allowing crossposting and not having large coalesced magazines(?)/communities yet.
@Africanprince99 @xuxebiko
Modi is very dangerous.
He is a megalomaniac fascist who is creating corporate monopolies and using Hindu supremacists to gain power.
This is one of the very few times I would say "both sides" in this conflict are absolute garbage people with no place in modern society. The only other time I can think of is the Israel-Palestine kerfuffle.
can you explain what you mean by "both sides" in this conflict?
Insane violent cultists vs. insane violent cultists.
can you please name both the sides as well?
@BakedGoods @xuxebiko
We should be careful about bothsidism. The Muslims who suffer racist violence in India are rarely violent cultists. They are everyday people trying to live their lives and look after their families. Just like us.
Given the brutalities, hatespeech, and religious persecution Indian Muslims and Indian Christians have been suffering quietly without support from either democratic developed countries or Islamic countries, India's religious minorities are the most patient and secular communities in India.
I trust that you mean Hamas, not Palestinians in general?
Hey, nice comment history. Are you okay?
