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.

North America is part of the world
USA is also "part of the world". Despite this, US internal news are disallowed according to the rules of the subreddit. The rules of a community is not defined by its name, it's defined by the explicit rules.
If you seriously want to keep arguing this. Only us internal news is explicitly disallowed. This is not internal news, it is between two countries and is not against the spirit of this community. There is very little news that affects the entire world, if it was limited to that, this community would be very empty.
Didn't say it was against the rules. Did you read my post at all?
I did, you are saying it is against the spirit of the community, I am saying it is not. It's also clear that us internal news is not world news, hence why it is not allowed.
Canada is so tightly tied to US that it's practically the same to anyone who isn't from north America. I understand that it can be hard to accept for a yankee like you. People who want to follow world news that isn't focused on US internal news isn't going to care for NA internal news where the majority of the focus is put on US.
Rich of you to assume I'm a yank. I'm not. I'm Canadian. That's why I'm saying this is not against the spirit of the community. Canada and the us are not practically the same. Even to people outside North America. Would you say Mexico and the US are practically the same? Probably not.
Of course you're Canadian. That doesn't make you the tiniest bit biased. You know there exists thriving Canadian communities where you can read news involving your country too? Lemmy and other English speaking communities are so heavily dominated by e.g. US and Canada that the news involving these countries naturally appear in normal "general" news communities. The entire point of communities such as these is to give attention to things that yankees and wannabe yankees wouldn't ever dream to give a single shit about.
Does Mexico e.g. share the largest undefended border in the world with US?
just let it go. deterioration of North American (not US) international relations meets criteria for World News.
Of course I'm biased, who wouldn't be. Sure, there are other communities, but it was posted here and was not removed, so I don't get why you are making a big deal out of it. Don't you dare call us wannabe yankees, you sure are great at insulting Canadians. It does not, and that does not make Canadians and États-Uniens "practically the same." Would you say the English and Scots are practically the same? They share a country.
It would only be internal US news if Trump actually annexed Canada.
