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.

Deck is stacked against them here, but it’s the best shot at a brighter future in quite some time.
I’m really happy that Syria got out from under Assad’s thumb and look to be moving in a positive direction. Honestly, it seems like you guys could be one of the few bright spots in a pretty bleak world these days.
With the recent massacre of Alawites it is up in the air. It might turn into a Libya type civil war situation. With America and Israel around the corner it is unlikely they will leave it intact without divide and conquering.
It would be awesome if some of those refugees go back home with capital, know how, and firsthand knowledge of how great a free and representative democracy can be. I can't help but feel there's a real opportunity to give people the tools they need to build a country they can love living in.
I'm sure humans being what we are though there will just be more violence, greed and hate. Seems to be the theme.
They can also learn a lot from Rojava. I hope that chance isn't wasted.
Never heard of it before now. Just looked it up, and wow. So nice to see a beacon of hope and civility break out. Would be real nice to see that spread. For those as ignorant as I was
Looks real good on paper. Here's hoping!
Edit: just learned about Jineology. Really cool and definitely worth a read!
Look for "The women's war" by Robert Evans on your favorite podcast app for a really cool report on the place.
Where exactly you see this free and representative democracy?
Most of the refugee has been either attracted because of their academic background or to be cheap labour for the rich to get richer, while the media keep the same "brown people bad" propaganda.
Most of the "Democratic" nations have been targeting any pro-palestanians voices throughout the last year.
It is a free and representative of you are right wing white or rich person..
This democracy has failed its own people with insane wealth gap and failed the world with climate changes, and even failed their own international institute that ment to held international laws.
See how they treat Russia as an invasion, war criminal country, while passing bombs and airplanes to kill Palestinians children and women.
