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.

Ah great. Day 1, top priority: fawn over the guy who is leading a genocide. The right never miss an opportunity to do the most evil thing.
I don't understand how this level of depraved evil became so normal in our society. What happened to literally any ambition to evolve?
Money and greed are considered virtues. This is capitalism by design.
I still say there is nothing wrong with capitalism. Decide what service and/or goods you want to sell, start a business, calculate costs, sell your products, make a profit or hopefully at least break even.
It's like most anything else, too much of a good thing becomes bad and too much capatilism is mega corporations that care more about profits than customers.
The mom and pop taco truck is capatilism. But so is Tesla.
You described markets, not capitalism. You can have markets without capitalism such as worker co-ops or publicly owned companies. Both of which are examples of market socialism
Oh my God, you can't go against the commy fucks on Feddit. All business is bad and anyone financially successful in business should prop up the rest of the world like a good comrade should.
The mom and pop taco truck is commerce. A factory full of industrial equipment and underpaid laborers being exploited to divert the largest share of profits to those who do no work is capitalism. The mom and pop taco truck is closer to a cooperatively owned business and thus is closer to socialism.
I think you need to spend some time learning what "capitalism" is. That's not even close to accurate.
"there's nothing wrong with capitalism"
You sure about that?
Also you're describing commerce, which can exist in non-capitalist systems.
Shhh, I dont think we are allow to use the E word anymore
Ambition to creationism?
Yeah that’ll get you sent straight to Gitmo.
Evil or evolve?
Yes.
Evolution doesn't trend toward good ~~it~~ or bad, only what survives. It's up to us to make sure only the good mutations survive.
