World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Hexbear is glaringly a false ally to Trans people.
In one breath the say they have rights and then in another they are with China that they should be killed.
Are you saying that because they defend China on some aspects that they defend China on ALL aspects?
I'm saying that because they defended that specific aspect of China...
Do you have a link to said post?
Thankfully not. Defederated.
You know it's still possible to paste a link to a defederated instance, right? Or is this just your way of doing a "trust me bro"?
It's my way of of telling you I don't have access nor wish to gain access to thier instance.
Good Jesus, get a grip.
Do you understand what defederation is? You can still go to the instance directly so you absolutely have access. I merely asked for a simple example of the claim you've made and you couldn't provide it. This is just you giving me a stupid excuse while being irrationally mad and telling me to get a grip to pretend that I'm the insane one.
I figured you'd just go around insulting everyone you disagree with over the stupidest things and I was right
All you have to do is post a single example but you keep changing the subject because you can't.
I literally typed this under a reply you made to someone else and it only took me three seconds to find it LOL I found some other ones if you want me to comment under those, too, hotshot
Am I supposed to monitor your posts for this? No thanks, I think I've seen enough idiocy from you. Thanks for showing everyone the kind of person that gets enraged about "tankies" btw.
Idiocy from me, good one, asswipe. More deflecting, more making shit up. Wouldn't surprise me if your last name was Trump with the shit you come up with.
