Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Gotta check the modlog to see what this says. It would be nice if we could do this right here.
I don't trust the mods. They'll censor something just because it's downvoted and make up bullshit to tie it to a rule.
Here's the original comment: "Didn't Russia just invite Hamas, PIJ, and Hezbollah to meet at the Kremlin for a roundtable about Israel? lol hahahahahahahaha, I guess some of the Islamic terrorists stuck around to take in the sights, eh I guess when Russia seeks to defend itself all the Tankies in the Fediverse will be asking it to please Oh won't anyone think of the poor ISIS hospitals, schools and mosques, won't anyone think of the ISIS babieeeeeeeeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!"
While I don't like the tone, I see it all the time (mostly criticizing anti-trans or pro-gun people.)
This leads me to believe the mods just didn't like what he was saying, so they decided to censor him.
I see it all the time and don't expect more at this point. I will continue to call it out and fight back as long as it keeps happening.
I'd say arguing in favor of murdering children is cause for removal of a post.
