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.

Why do people post YouTube links without descriptors? Ain't nobody clicking on an external link without knowing it's going to be worth thier time.
Edit: if you see anger in the comment above you need to check yourself as well as your expectations and maybe you need to get some air and come back.
Jokes on you, my wife's Grandmother will click on any and every link she sees.

While it's not as ideal as you might like, there's nothing really wrong with just posting a link. Half the fun is in the surprise.
We're just chatting on the internet, it's impractical to expect every comment to be deeply thought out and fully constructed. Sometimes you just want to share something relevant and move on to the next thread. It's not like they masked a url with another or anything; any anger is unwarranted.
Again, why do people see anger there? What is going on in Lemmy? Why are you all so eager to think someone is "mad bro"?
I posed a question... I didn't "come at you bro"
Lmfao you just came in and downvoted me at the same time as I finally conceded and accepted having a little edit mark on my comment.
I couldn't think of a better way to phrase it when I wrote the comment, but yes, "angry" would be an excessive description of your comment. Not quite so excessive with your latest comment, though :P
Disagreement isn't anger, it's a juvenile tactic you're using to justify wanting to be mad at me for having a different opinion. It's not my problem that you feel this way.
Lmao I'm just teasing you, also I haven't been downvoting you but upvoted your last comment. I respect your different opinion and mean no malice.
Asking for a link to have some indication of what it links to isn't demanding anything "deeply thought it and fully constructed". If you don't have time to write a few words to describe it, a hundred other people certainly don't have time to open it just to see what it is.
If I posted what it was, it would have ruined the joke. What's to get mad about?
Why do you think I'm mad? Its insulting to insinuate any dissenting opinion is met with anger.
