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.

Because of the repetitive pattern of sham/shallow accusations which goal is only to give the collaborationist media more material for constant defamation (on her, but also on every leftist voice speaking against the genocide in Gaza and such, which is immediately tagged as "antisemitism" for easy silencing -it's a globally used strategy, so nothing unfamiliar here, you've probably seen it used against many people who are raising their voice against Israel's crimes against humanity, or their current expansion war -which they roped the USA into). For instance, she has been summoned by the police for her deleted tweet, and they "found" drugs in her purse, except 1- I won't believe a person summoned to an appointment with the police can be stupid enough to BRING DRUGS in their purse (it was later denied by her lawyer anyway). 2- The info was leaked to collaborationist medias DURING the police custody, which is supposedly both impossible and illegal UNLESS the police themselves leaked something for the medias to gnaw on. And it's always like that. As for the tweet that got her in "trouble", it was okay according to international laws (relative to the right of an occupied/subjected to apartheid nation to bear arms to resist the occupant). So, yeah, in France, the collusion of the ultra-rich and far-right media is established, so much so that most people don't even listen to them anymore. Whatever the country you're from, the fascists have the same modus operandi, so if you hear corporate media say something and the story is too good to be true, then assume it's simply no true, especially during war.
