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.

Can you be more civil?
Everyone is entitled to their beliefs. Lots of people think their beliefs are true even if they might not be. It's bigoted of you to think your beliefs are absolute fact while discrediting the beliefs of others.
Religious people use the same tactics to persecute those they disagree with.
Some people equate facts with belief. I can't help it if you have no ability to discern the difference. If you can, then I can't help that your beliefs make you hateful and willing to dismiss things you don't like as "beliefs".
Also...
Pot, meet kettle? Are you not doing this by your own logic?
Edit: Can't see your transphobic shit anymore, thank fuck. Trans women are women. Trans does not mean not. You wouldn't say "Cis women aren't women" just because "Cis" comes before "women".
Cis is a term made up by queer people because they couldn't tolerate normal or regular people being described as normal or regular.
A simple Google search shows that you're wrong.
Healthy, normal, sane, and regular are words people who want to control other people without feeling like they are trying to control other people tend to use.
They should always send up red flags that any statement using them may be an ingenuous attempt to control others.
Your comment is a bright shining example of someone doing this.
Go fuck off and learn to control yourself first.
Yes, but if we can't agree on what the facts are then we're back to our beliefs.
Right now, even, you're trying to espouse something that is most certainly not fact as fact which diminishes the meaning of the word entirely.
It also diminishes the effectiveness of arguing truth when you're willing to lie about what's a fact.
No, I always said you were entitled to your beliefs. If you think they are true, that's fine. I'm not discrediting you nor do I think my beliefs are absolute fact.
Nope, you're just saying that your beliefs are sufficient grounds for being a dick to people you hate.
I'm absolutely not going to tolerate intolerance. If you want to make a shitty bigoted argument, you should be prepared to be called a bigot, because that's exactly what you are.
Your beliefs are not valid, and we don't have to protect you from criticism. The existence of trans people is not a matter of fucking faith.
I can tell you're too emotional to engage in this discussion civilly, so I'm going to have to ignore you.
You're allowed to be upset, but I don't have to take your constant insults and abuse. Goodbye.
Bigots are all such entitled babies.
You broke the social contract by being a bigot. You refuse to treat trans people with respect and goodwill, yet expect it from others.
I hope lemmy's mods never start acting like reddit mods. I hope they never start protecting bigots. (EDIT: sadly, that ship just sailed.) Bigots have too many platforms where they are welcome already.
Where bigots are welcome, no one else is.
Why did that ship just sail? Did I miss something?
That's nice, but irrelevant to this thread.
I believe it's the only thing in the universe that can possibly be relevant in any context.
That's nice. I'm going to ignore you now.
Sure is neat how quickly you go from "we shouldn't let trans people use public restrooms because of bigots' beliefs and you're a bigot for disagreeing" to ignoring me for mine.
I believe you should listen to and agree with everything I say. How dare you attack my beliefs, bigot.
