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 sure all the families of the people in Ukraine who have died will be relieved to know that at least they didn't die in the real war.
Why are all of your comments from a bad LLM? Like, nearly all of them.
Jesus, I love the block function on Lemmy. Another one goes on the list.
Why are all of your replies indistinguishable from a bored algorithm trying to pass the Turing test? If you’re fishing for originality, maybe try harder than regurgitating the same tired insult.
Engage with the substance or don’t bother. Otherwise, you’re just proving my point about the digital colosseum—hot takes, zero depth
"engage with substance as I post LLM slop with no substance at all"
Why do you keep projecting onto others the thing that people keep saying about you: that you write like a bot?
Flashy words to hide the complete lack of substance.
Ah, the irony of accusing others of lacking substance while offering a response that could be mistaken for a placeholder text generator. If you’re going to critique, at least muster the effort to rise above the intellectual equivalent of a shrug.
Substance isn’t flashy words; it’s depth of thought, something your reply seems allergic to. Engage or don’t, but spare us the performative dismissal—it’s tedious.
I'm seeing neither.
Flashy words to hide the complete lack of substance, again.
I think I've upvoted when I've found your comments to be on point regardless of the style choices. Hostility destroys the substance you're trying to convey. Better to disregard the blame from those who get stuck with the format, provoking back never works.
I have trouble making sense of your proposed world view. Your (well) organized comment gestures wildly at a bigger picture, implying there is something that one cannot observe by merely reading news. On its own that would be a straightforward idea, but you continue and claim that there is/are something/s governing the governments?
I request, please, more information.
Their comments are not well organized. Look at their comment history; they write like a bot trained to generate pseudo-profound bullshit.
What a shit take.
