A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Ok, so the anti-war Trump administration has now threatened to invade Mexico, suggested annexing Canada, purchasing (or possibly invading) Greenland, and now 'liberating' the UK... all before even actually starting its term.
I am so very glad that reality is basically now a 16 year old 'libertarian' playing the US in some kind of Millenium Dawn derived mod.
Sue and prosecute that goon already FFS!
Didn’t this man just become president today? What an embarrassment.
Not inauguration on the 20th. Congress certified the electoral votes today, that's all.
He absolutely should, right after he learns that the best way for someone to liberate a country is by jumping balls first into a running wood chipper.
You know, Musk is going to piss off the wrong powerful person at some point. Putin may be the window thrower, but he's not the only state actor willing to get blood on his hands.
I sometimes wonder how it must feel to go through your daily life knowing that there's a large percentage of the entire planet's population that either actively wants you dead or, if not, would celebrate (or at least not care) if you died.
It can't be a good feeling. I appreciate that. I hope it feels absolutely terrible.
Let’s liberate the people of America from the oligarchy first.
One Luigi at a time 🙏
He says that like other countries aren't also a democracy. If the people wantes liberated they literally would just vote that kind of government in!
What do you mean, "also"?
Fascists are getting more and more dangerous.
Where have we seen this before...
I know that at some point, UK extracted oil from the sea but do they still produce some ? /s At this point, there is no excuse to stay on xitter, bluesky starts to get traction, and mastodon is not this hard (still some trouble with data transparency though)
I think Musk should liberate the whole world. Starting with liberating it of himself.
We need to restart the titan sub program, I feel like it has great potential. I mean, who doesn't want to visit the Titanic?
It's crazy that the two biggest shit heads in the world somehow ended up working together.
Is it really that crazy? 2 sexual predators of the utmost privilege with an incessant need for power at all costs ganging up in order to screw over the rest of us for power and profit?
I admit I suspected something like this already when Musk was one of the last to leave the Trump’s chief business advisory council, during Trump's first presidency.
I suspected many of the things about Musk that are now out in the open. Musk is a malignant narcissist like Trump.
