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.

So now not only do we have to vote, we also have to guess which one is the correct one with no communication.
And you say there's not a transitive power here but you keep describing a transitive power. Oh and you've called for violence against people who just want to be left alone.
You're really racking up the motivations for voting.
If you have to guess which one is the bad one...
No, I'm calling for violence against Nazis. Violence against actual Nazis is always acceptable.
I shouldn't have to motivate you to vote, nobody should. If you're not motivated to vote, then you accept the ramifications of your actions.
We'll come back in six months to see how you're feeling about it all. I'm feeling that you're probably gonna have a great time though.
How are we supposed to know? You said all messaging was propaganda. So we have two names on a page. That's it. And yes, people not voting are just trying to be left alone.
You're advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.
unfortunately as an adult you don't get that luxury. if you want to be left alone, move to Uzbekistan and live in the mountains.
I'm advocating for violence against Nazis.
if they didn't vote, who will know unless they tell. and if they tell, then they clearly want to incite, because by your definition, they "just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids". I don't think anyone who wants that would even care enough to mention they didn't vote, and in a few years they'll be too ashamed to bring it up anyway.
Oh so now we're on don't ask don't tell?
You're just hitting all the highlights aren't you?
And no. You don't get to tell people they have to leave their home. In your rush to fight a Nazi you're starting to really sound like one.
