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.

Thanks for the life lesson, dad/mom.
Debate like a child, get treated like a child. What can I say?
You can say another made-up proverb; I want to see more adages from you now. What further wisdom can you share?
Going back to the well with the "old and wise" bit? If you are going to turn it into an insult war, because you know you can't make a point, at least make it interesting.
I honestly don't even know what point you are trying to make at this stage either, though. Please elaborate.
Sorry I forgot youre just a child. I'll make it simple:
You're an intellectual coward and an uninteresting troll.
What did I say that makes you think i am a coward? What does this have anything to do with the context of the discussion?
I still literally do not understand what your point has been through our dialogue so far.
Something about capitalism being amazing?(which it is, else we couldn't have this conversation with you over there trolling me from whatever Chinese or Russian shithole you live in).
Putting words in my mouth and then whining about me pointing out that this i reveals how your argument is, instead of actually addressing any actual points I made. And I'm sure you'll continue to do so.
Lol you just can't help yourself but put words in my mouth. Amazing.
Alright, l apologize for the non-sequiturs.
Now please reiterate your argument to me as if i were a toddler, so i may properly rebuke.
The claim you made about it being the fault of capitalism is ridiculously empty in the face of the fact that their country is led by fascist, totalitarians.
I can't rebuke that because what you said follows what Wikipedia says about the North Korean economy.
This is another empty post. I'm done.
