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.

You've made a claim. A claim is not evidence.
No, I have not. Not from my instance, lemmy.world (which is the instance we're talking on) or any others that end up in my feed or even the "All" feed.
Have you tried blocking the one single instance that's probably coming from?
Or even just using your feed?
And I hate to break it to you, but one community on the fediverse is not indicative of "this crowd being heavy" with anyone. If that were the case, all social media, and real life, would be.
Get over yourself you jumped up twat. I don't have to provide you with evidence for anything. I understand how the fediverse works.
There are plenty of fucked up little scrotes on here with weird as fuck fetishes and I dont care to see it in my feed. I already block entire instances, communities and anyone who posts fucking weird porn cartoons or political american shit or any other shit I think is retarded. I dont give a shit whatever sordid shit turns you on. I dont need to know about it. Its not all on one instance, or one user and I'm forever filtering it out..
Someone sounds upset.
If you make a claim in an attempt to discredit a whole platform of people, don't be surprised when someone asks you to provide evidence.
Fun fact: you can add certain communities to your feed and only view those. So either you're not using your own feed, or you've added those communities to it.
Sounds like a problem with the instance you picked then. I do not have this issue, and you clearly haven't heard of an NSFW toggle. That or it doesn't work.
Nobody cares if you don't care about other things on the internet. It does not belong to you, you don't get to go on an angry tirade when there are things you don't like, and you definitely don't get to use it to try and slander people who are completely unrelated to it. Learn to properly curate your feed and move on.
You're an insufferable patronising pest aren't you. You're confident for someone who is wrong
Ad hominem/personal insults, the perfect argument winner.
