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.

So we just gonna let this dude's Neo Nazi World Tour go off?
If you're rich you can do whatever you want, apparently.
Luigi wouldn't stand for it. We need more Luigi's.
There should be a louigi tracker. I feel like somebody should have have something we can all watch like people tracked covid back in the day. It just seems the odds of people getting louigi'd is just going to keep rising so it may as well get tracked.

How could the wealthy be tracked though? They don't move around the same way even rich people do, they're in a whole different world.
I was not meaning tracking the wealthy, or ceos or anything like that. I was.meaning more like a keeping of stats and info about those that get liuigied.
Why not just stats and info on the best available methods of luigi-ing?
Incitement is a real thing people should be concerned about. Anyway, I don't think there is any shortage in this world on known, effective, or creative methods to off people. Not really wanting to encourage peeps to be violent, but morbid curiosity is near universal these days.
I mean I would never incite people to violence, but one could for instance use these fancy blockchain and tor-network techs to set up a leaderboard that would award based on estimated net worth.
Could even incentivise what you like based on some sort of a voting system.
But I advocate none of this in real life, it's just for my fictional book; "Things which are required for the continuous existence of life as we knows it."
We need a Luigi leaderboard based on net worth.
And as my good pal Ira said, Luigi only needs to be lucky once.
No we really don't. Luigi was an idiot. He shot a subsidiary CEO worth some $40 million - Brian Thompson was closer to working class wealth than to Elon's wealth. Did nothing to fight the real enemy, who have quite simply continued unabated and even accelerated their efforts to control everything since.
Come on, stop with that. It's not because he's made an """"odd gesture"""", repeatedly supported political figures from nazi-founded far-right parties, supported open neo-nazis just as much, xat nazi dogwhistles and other great replacement theories wherever he could that he's a nazi.
You have no proof of that.
Does my impersonation of a muskolini apologist sound ~~brain dead~~ genuine enough?
Muskolini is actually a good one. I cringed my entire ass right off every time I saw some lib refer to him as “Elongated Muskrat.” I’ve had better sharts than that insult name.
Long Mosquito
You forgot to mention that "he doesn't know what he's doing is wrong because he's autistic", but otherwise, yes.
No we all boycott Tesla until there’s a 50% drop in sales and hope the shareholders and board force him out.
