    This. But I semi agree w/OP. The OP of lemmy.ml should have used “[] & ¹” to cite why the “Palestine Authority” is a mercenary front for the IDF.

    It’s really not hard to denote you changed the title to remove the propaganda, in the body.

    I personal do it all the time.

      Definitely, I agree with that. I’m also not supportive of changing article titles, at least when it comes to politics, additional context should be provided in the post or comments as needed.

      It looks like that rule doesn’t apply to that .ml community, which I personally don’t agree with. I think it’s more transparent to show how it’s reported and point out, with sources, if anything is being reported disingenuously

        It honestly depends how egregious the article’s headline is. And in lemmy, your title can & should be different than MSM’s headlines. But the confusion was extremely wild even for MLists.

        But 100% agreed with the context assertion. People should contextualize as much as possible to audiences, even to veterans.

Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!

Basic Rules:

Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don’t be a dick.

Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.

Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.

Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.

Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.

Brigading — If you’re here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned.

Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.

You’ll be warned if you’re violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
