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.
-
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.

First of all, I do not ban people for a single comment that violates our civility rules. Neither would any other moderator in this community and I resent that implication.
Secondly, I have absolutely deleted such comments before when they are reported. I do not have the ability to see every single comment in the entire community in real time. That is not a superpower I possess.
Thirdly, if someone calls you that, report it and if I'm the mod who sees it, I will delete it like every other time.
Please do respond to this by lying or "not" suggesting I'm a bot again or whatever. I'm guessing I won't get a thank you.
Sorry, we bots don't really understand how they/them isn't a universal pronoun. No one programmed us on that yet.
It's amazing how many things you've accused me of today that you're guilty of yourself.
Shall I produce from modlogs how many times you've been banned from communities for incivility? Because I can.
I'm happy to get banned for incivility, but pointing out that you're fixing on minor details to take me into conversational cul de sacs isn't an insult.
Calling someone what they don't want to be called is insulting, I stand by my hotheaded comments considering how often I get he/himmed on here
I can't take you anywhere you don't want to be taken.
I also literally defended your pronouns in this thread.
You've just been too busy being unpleasant to me to notice.
And no, I don't really want to argue with you about anything else I said in that post when you're going to give me shit about the fucking opposite of what I did regarding you personally in this thread.
That's how low you've sunk.
oh, my bad I've been on mobile all day (just worked a >9hour shift while being disregulated online) and kinda tunnel visioned. You've fine, though I stand by my statements about the fire department making traffic safety worse.
