A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

The persecution fetish conservatives have is just incredible.
Well, I guess when you're a psychopathic narcissist it's hard to imagine that everybody else isn't one too, so it's understandable that they think we want to put them in concentration camps because that's what they want to do to us.
If their leaders say that someone else was going to do something to them, then it makes it acceptable when those leaders do those things to the people they said were going to do the thing to them. Easy way to make atrocities seem reasonable. Same thing they do with labeling people "terrorists". If you think someone is trying to horribly murder you, then when your leaders torture them, it seems ok.
The earth should really start just domain blocking X. Nothing of value ever happens there.
Where we should really start is yeeting Musk and his supporters out of the fucking solar system (shooting them into the sun would be a waste of perfectly good delta-v)
Trebuchet the rich into a cliffside from point blank range
Yeet the rich...
Or just give them submarines. Perhaps they’d be good people deep down.
*oceangate submarines
He could pay to go there. He’s all horny for space anyway. So go. Don’t let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.
In old days we would have admins block sites on their networks. I guess this time everyone looks up to the government to do it
The issue is that reasonable people become irrational with anonymity and the culture Musk has built up on X feeds right into that. I think X is a social danger that people are unable to safely consume without being extremized.
You can do it on your own machine, but an ISP doing it would violate the now reinstated Net Neutrality rules.
“Just a joke” is always the refrain when people call out this brand of nonsense. Drives me mad
It's like when people say "no offense but" and then continue with something offensive. Just because you say no offense, it doesn't make it not offensive.
No offense but you look like the kind of person who enjoys dipping their fries in soda before eating them.
The government in the UK should buy some space in the Sun and publish an article how the convicted pedophile Musk is found to have a torture chamber in the German Tesla factory and that kind of shit. When Musk inevitably goes ballistic just say it was a joke, then repeat.
He seems to forget that a joke has to be funny.
This guy is irresponsible with the power he holds. I hope the UK removes access to his failing social media platform
Deport this nazi and nationalize SpaceX in the name of national security. Give it to NASA (with StarLink) and give NASA all the money we normally give musk. Deport this nazi.
Need a running list of all the confirmed falsehoods Musk has personally shared. Seems to be increasing.
He’s using it to distract from the videos of him being shit on while he climaxes and cries that came out.
Did I miss something here? What is this of which you speak?
Definitely not fake news, that’s for sure!!!
As reliable as the information shared by Musk!
Wat
People are gullible as fuck...
The US won’t touch social media due to the first amendment. The UK may be willing to hurt Elon here.
Cough Tic tok cough
That's because it's CHYNA TAKIN ALL ARE DATAS
i swear that in every picture his hairstyle and face look slightly different. are we sure there’s only one elon musk?
He's melting
The persistent bullshit cuntery is exhausting. This feels like a tactic, trumpian relentless attention grabbing. Fuck him.
It's based on creating the same kind of environment that exists in Russia. Everything is fake, nothing is real, everyone lies.
It's really easy to control people when they feel that objective truths are no longer possible.
lonE skuM needs some adults in the room to serve him some real consequences.
Hes losing a lot of money bankrolling a loser. Bound to twist his outlook
Hey teach, which fuckin' islands are we talking about here? You got the Hawaiian fuckin' islands, the Bermuda fuckin' islands, the Caribbean fuckin' islands, and somewhere out there, you've got Gilligan's fuckin' island.
