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.

Beep boop. This action was performed automatically. If you dont like me then please block me.💔
If you have any questions or comments about me, you can make a post to LW Support lemmy community.
WAY too long holy cow.
It's 4 lines until you open up the spoilers, are you on an app that doesn't do formatting properly? I know that some of them don't do spoilers properly.
40 lines here. Using Boost For Lemmy on Android phone. Nicely intentioned but it is somewhat intrusive in its layout.
So the dev of Boost needs to properly implement spoilers. Because definitely that's not how the text is meant to be show. 4 lines here, Jerboa for Android.
So the problem is that Boost doesn't format text properly, on a website that is primarily text.
There's probably a report issue or bug section of the app, please let the developer know that you would like your Lemmy app to follow Lemmy formatting
Blocked. Great idea, terrible execution
It's whatever app you're using that's the problem. It looks fine on a browser.
Meh, I'm not the only one who's noticed and commented. It's formatted in a way that's very busy
Terrible execution...in your specific app which doesn't follow Lemmy's fomatting standard?
Just sharing my feedback. This bot showed up recently, and its comments are very busy in appearance and got annoying. So I blocked it and added a comment. Not sure why you're coming at me like this
If you're complaining at the fact that this bot will give feedback regarding any news article trustworthiness...I appreciate it saving me a few clicks and a search. I have my own pet peeves with its source's own bias, but that would be a different discussion. I have no qualms with it showing on every news article giving a heads up regarding the news source being pure bullshit generally, or having any merit.
Alternatively, if your complaint is on the length of each of this bots posts, my comment is merely pointing out that you're blaming the wrong culprit here, as this is a bug in your app of choice for Lemmy, and it renders correctly on many other apps.
