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. βIronicβ 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.

Come on. I know a debate lord when I see one. Game recognizes game. The problem with being a debate lord is that there's always a bigger debate lord than you π.
Socialism is when no jokes /s
Oh my fucking God no I am not partly responsible for the lack of safety that the US government imposes on its citizens. The US GOVERNMENT is causally responsible, and the fault lies with the people who run the system and the capitalists who are responsible for it. The State imposes this reality on me and almost everyone else here. We NEVER had a democracy, even de jure! The United States is a "democratic" republic! And every step of the way, I have expressed my disgust for this evil country and its trajectory!
Please if you take home only one message, it is this: States IMPOSE their will upon the working class.
And again, what I said did not even go against your warning. It didn't even diminish the engagement your warning got. It probably got a few people more people to read it because there was an actual discussion below it.
And if you thought what I said was insensitive, you could have clearly stated so. But again... this is my reality too, that I'm fucking stuck in this sick fucking hellhole. I feel like I have a right to make jokes at my own expense.
Right, that's why I put it in a separate part of the comment separated by a line. But also... that's not how humans operate? If you want people to listen to you, in general you can't be a jerk about it. That's something you'll learn as you unlearn debate lord habits.
I mean "being a jerk" is an opinion, so it's not something you can really do reliable mathematics about, i.e. a chart would be equivalent to what I have already given you in text form. A chart actually would have been faster to make, i.e. it would be less of a waste of time.
More precisely: you've been being a jerk to people on Lemmy with the account I'm replying to. I don't think you're necessarily a jerk anywhere else. This isn't a personal attack. I'm commenting on your behavior.
Nah I'm not that deep in your profile lol, and I'm not even good at reading people. Just a week or two to get a sense of where you're coming from.
I agree to disagree.
Yup. I'm not a debate lord. I'm a debate monster πΉ.
~~Hell yeah I'm riding this train wherever it goes ππππππππππππππππππππππ.~~ Edit: Actually I'm not gonna respond to any responses to the previous two responses because I've made my points and the rational side of me is realizing that this is getting a bit excessive. Not that I can't, but because I'm seeing myself get back into those debate lord behaviors I loathe so much.
So genuinely: beyond this point, I can agree to disagree with you, I apologize for not dropping it earlier, and have a nice rest of your week.
Honestly, the fact that you are trying to pretend I didn't tell you my background in an attempt to prove whatever point you are trying to make about me is humourous.
Enjoy the last word, and I highly recommend you educate yourself on my country before ever talking shit again.
You told me that you're Greek-Canadian, right? I genuinely forgot that you told me, sorry. Being Greek didn't register in my π© brain as a visible minority group, but it absolutely is. I was also leaving open the possiblity of belonging to any other minority identities you hadn't previously talked about without assuming cisheteronormative "defaults".
I wanted to move on with the discussion as if you could have been, but did not definitively tell me, that you were from a group which is a minority in Canada. Which you did and I acknowledge that now, and I simply forgot.
I stand by the rest of what I said. I'm gonna leave it here because this is already verging on unhealthy.
