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.

"OnlyFans model flashing the so-called portal. Another "very drunk" woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man exposing his own derrière.
One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone, according to The Guardian."
Yeaaah. Not just boobs
The horror of the human body. Hide it, seal it and be ashamed of it.
Well, the 9/11 wasn't about the human body. Rubbing ass against the screen is outright unsanitary.
Definitely tasteless. But hardly the worst thing I've seen someone post in an online space.
I might argue the root of the problem is anonymity.
I doubt it was tasteless. It probably tasted like screen
Does it really need to be sanitary?
I mean, people aren't expected to eat off it or something are they?
But it was >20 years ago. We might as well be showing them pictures of the Troubles.
Everyone knows that if children are exposed to breasts between ages 3 and 17 they will go blind.
I literally wear clothes everyday. I'm doing my part.
i mean, the problem isn't the portal in those cases, and i think the portal is a very cool idea -- imo, the fact that these people get in the news for it is probably why they're doing it, it's just one way to get people's attention by doing outrageous stuff around a new attraction
it's nothing new, and eventually dies off, and there are probably also many events of people being nice to each other that go unreported
edit: also, yeah, showing body parts generally shouldn't be considered that harshly imo - of you're forcing people to look at them, they're probably not pretty, but I wouldn't call those "vulgaire" either
Won't somebody think of the children! Lol
