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 won't see any from that domain as it is defederated. But we should see several soon from ml domains and a few other domains. Telling us how he deserved to be jailed for advocating for democracy against the vanguard. Which is democracy incarnate. You can choose from them them or them after all.
That or they will attack the messenger, claiming that the events never happened. Because they don't like the messenger. That they were somehow a western CIA plant Etc.
It’s not defederated from lemm.ee though, which the person you replied to is on. Having said that, I haven’t really seen a lot of their users for a while now. Maybe I’m just not subscribed to the communities they participate in.
But the community we’re in is on lemmy.world. I think that means the entire community won’t federate to them. (As posts first go to the community, then are federated out from the community to other instances.) that’s my understanding anyway. Like my post coming from .zip will first go to the com on .world, then federate out to others like .ee, but bear will then never see this (even though .zip is still fedded with bear, which I know because I still see their shit from here in other coms.)
For what it’s worth, this is also my understanding, as the administrator and operator of this Lemmy instance.
Aaaah FairPoint I made a bad assumption. I should know better than that LOL. (Edit : this post is on world on Lemmy.world. only Lemmy.ml from the triad can interact ATM. So you all actually do get a small reprieve)
They did not Federate at all for a long time. Until they did. And that's when a lot of the issues started to occur. When they tried to enforce their Echo chamber outside the echo chamber. Discovering they were no longer the big fish, their ponds now dwarfed.
Since then a lot of ML have largely pulled back to their safe spaces. At least from our side of things. Still silent down voting, and about 5-6 recognizable names consistently offering detached/unhinged takes from the domains not blocked.
