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.

It is when it's targeted specifically to non straight white men. Lol you need to try harder at trolling
That's not "censorship". Nothing is being "censored". The goverment ended all DEI programs in their ranks, so they removed all DEI programs from their websites. Do you think they should keep advertising DEI programs that no longer exist?
What is it with Lemmy and accusing everyone who dares to have an opposing view of "trolling"? What exactly in my posts says "trolling"?
It literally is when it's targeting anyone but white men.
Oh, you actually believe this? Ouch, that's so much worse, sorry about that! I apologize. I'm against views that go against respecting others and I'm also against people who defend fascists, that is something I'm proud of.
Removing outdated information from a website is censorship because it "targets" anyone but white men? What? The DEI programs no longer exist, so the government removed the information about the DEI programs. That makes sense no matter how you feel about the DEI programs ending. If it doesn't exist, you remove the info about it.
Are you trying to argue that ending DEI programs is "censorship"? That's an entirely different argument, and "censorship" isn't even remotely the right word for it.
Believe that you're just saying I'm "trolling" because you disagree with me? Yes, I believe that because that's what you're doing. You haven't shown any evidence of me "trolling" because I'm not. We're having a discussion, or at least I'm trying to. It seems to me like you're trying to get my opinion and views censored by calling them "trolling", and I'm assuming you're also reporting my comments as such too right?
why?
I know, I apologized, this is so much more sad that you're serious
you don't know what censure is, and no I'm not reporting you.
Why.....what? Why would they remove the information about programs that no longer exist? Because they no longer exist. The information is no longer relevant, and leaving it up would only cause confusion.
CenSURE and cenSOR are very different things. Are you claming that the removal of the DEI stuff from the government websites is censuring or censoring?
Uhuh, but why?
Censors can censure.
Ok so there's no point for me trying to continue this discussion with you as you clearly aren't arguing in good faith. See ya.
Right back at ya
