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.
-
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.

A random employee of a financial institution is not a "finance bro"
journalism is falling apart before our eyes but don’t worry i’m sure some prominent figures will SLAM each other along the way
edit: everyone saying that gizmodo isn’t journalism— that’s exactly my point. this article shouldn’t be given space on a “world news” community. hosting this is bad journalism.
But what the bank did next will shock you.
They may slap and spank each other too. Both of which I have seen in headlines recently.
Whelp, it's Gizmodo. Calling it "journalism" is a stretch.
Maybe be more specific in what you label “journalism”, because Gizmodo ain’t dat.
If my middle school history courses taught me anything, it's that journalism has always been garbage and biased.
“Pecuniary sibling”.
“CashKin”
Where did this "bro" thing come from anyway? I know it's a signal telling me to hate someone but what particular hivemind is spreading this?
Bros were dudes who liked to party.
That became Frat Bros who were obnoxious and loud guys who like to get drunk and party.
Eventually becoming Gym/Tech/Crypto Bros, which referenced the toxic masculinity and obnoxious nature of those two groups whose entire identity is the thing they bro’d.
Which in turn became a catch all suffix for groups/industries that are toxic/harmful.
No “hivemind” is spreading it, it’s just the evolution of slang and language in action.
Wolf of wall street movie and wall street bets subreddit probably.
Are they not?
No. And in this case it was probably an accountant or other operations worker in the company's treasury management department. Almost certainly not a finance bro.
I tough it'll be some crypto influencer or someone like that, not just guy who works in finance.
Then what's a finance bro if not that? Lol
Traders. M&A sharks. Crypto geeks. Balls out types.
Not a back office accounting drone.
These days it’s anyone working in finance. So yeah, they’re a finance bro.
