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'm mostly using herewego. I believe that I tried mappy but it didn't have traffic updates for my region? Not sure 🤔 I went through so many!
Thanks! I usually try to use Organic Maps, but Here We Go seems to be very nice.
Oooh, Organic Maps works well at least local to me, thanks for the recommendation.
If i can drop Google Maps, the only Google related things I would still be using are Revanced Youtube and GrapheneOS.
Search I moved to Ecosia which is still Bing. Hopefully not for much longer given their most recent relevant announcement about making their own euro indexer/engine teaming up with Qwant.
I love organic maps! I used Google when organic wasn't able to find certain addresses. I travel for work and sometimes organic isn't great for weird places.
I use PipePipe for YouTube. I really like that app. I haven't tried Revanced Youtube.
Oh nice. I primarily use DuckDuckGo, but I do use Leta occasionally. I'll have to check Qwant out as well. Thanks!
Just gave it a shot driving home from work making wrong turns on purpose to see how it'd do re-routing. Passed with flying colours. Even got voice assist working via RHVoice F-Droid repo. Doesn't have the same fidelity with individual house numbers on a street in my small city I noticed, but does provide an accurate batch list of houses found on that segment of the neighbourhood block.
That openstreetmaps had the newly installed round-a-bout installed last year on them in my insignificant satellite city was also impressive.
You're right though, like it doesn't have stuff like the plant I work at labelled, but oddly does label a bunch of small electric substations under the company name on the site lol.
