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 wasn't trying to speak for anyone but myself, so that is a ludicrous accusation, and "nobody" does not mean "the majority." If you meant "the majority," you should have said so. It would not have taken you significantly longer to type, so I don't believe your silly excuse.
Also-
Let's see your evidence. Polling numbers will work with a decent sample size. You have them, right? You wouldn't just be speaking on all of those people's behalves without knowing what they actually think, would you?

And
Can you prove that more than 1% or 2% of people on earth give a shit, most live their lifes like normal without even thinking about it.
Where you're claiming exaggeration, I'm claiming trolling. Especially when you expect me to prove something I never claimed.
I claim something that doesn't have statistics from my findings, I asked you if you have opposing statistics.
I did use exaggeration as a linguistics tool.
No, you asked me to prove something I never claimed.
It is not my job to prove words you put into my mouth.
Now stop putting words into my mouth and stop speaking on behalf of others. That is trolling.
Thank you for proving my point. Time for you to learn that trolling is not allowed here as per rule 6 by taking a break.
You just can't engage with flyingsquid. He's mod everywhere and baits people into silly arguments and then bans them lmao
Honestly I’m happy that a person like FlyingSquid is a mod here. I’ve seen some cases that may have been debatable but I didn’t have full context and every time some troll like this shows up moderation seems very reasonable to me.
That's good for you, I don't seek squiddy out I just peruse all a few times a day and I usually don't look at usernames but the majority of the time when I'm reading comments and the person is coming off as pedantic and petty and I look at the username... lol
