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.

I am a professional writer.
I write code.
White space is important for readability.
It helps other coders read your stuff
But if you came here to argue with mw let’s argue about something more substantive than your hatred of my use of white space.
Shohei Ohtani: better than babe Ruth?
it must be springtime
the style police have emerged
discourse now narrows
Lonely manifests
As misdirected anger
And no one will win
Sigh.
If you write reports.
Or emails.
Or literally any words in sentences.
Like on Lemmy.
Then it doesn't work.
Code is different.
I think you know this.
But you are being obtuse.
Your loneliness is tangible. I’m sorry you feel that way.
I am not here writing a report. Or seeking your validation.
This is how I communicate.
No me importa si lo gusta.
Shohei vs the babe?
Ah when in doubt, go for the personal attack.
LOL.
Instead of taking constructive feedback.
Well when you point a finger.
There are 3 pointing back towards you.
Ciao.
This guy is mad at me for expressing my opinion
Sees everything I say as an attack on them.
Truly my heart aches for them. Their loneliness is palpable.
I know what it is to feel lonely. I empathize.
I’m sure they see my empathy as another attack but what can I do about it?
All this. Because I organize my thoughts one sentence at a time. Wow.
Ah when in doubt.
Triple down on attacks.
lol
It was actually in your very first reply too.
Ok I can't keep pointing it out all day.
P.S. learn to take constructive feedback without feeling the need to attack others.
Ciao.
You keep using this word. But I do not think it means what you think it does.
I wonder what mistakes you have made in your life to be so angry about white space use by a stranger on the internet.
You’re so mad about something but it’s so misdirected at me.
I bet it’s something simple like “Molly likes Dave more than me”
That’s a tough pill to swallow.
But maybe Molly just likes Dave because he writes clean love letters to her, one sentence at a time.
I’d hate me too if that happened to me
Big reddit energy in this comment thread... Someone just stop responding already!
