A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Better than feeding off the dead bodies of children, like Republicans do.
HE HAS TO BE KILLED. IN MINECRAFT
there is NO OTHER REASONABLE OPTION
(in Minecraft)
Also, Marc Bankston should be gleefully taking $400+B from him in slander and defamation lawsuits
It's so bizarre that this lunatic has managed to have any success in life. Any at all.
Not really. He was born wealthy, remember?
And went on to make a cult of fanatics.
If this were the 1930s, Musk would be blaming Poland for not submitting to the Nazis in the same way.
One is defending his homeland from an oppressive and authoritarian regime.
The other sells cars that drive people into walls and fire trucks, then cancels the people investigating and regulating his company.
Who feeds off dead bodies?
Happy cake day.
If by now you’re still on X, you’re actively part of the problem. No more excuses.
So, musk and co. are eating dead people. On brand.
Man I just love that our dumb fuck leaders are regurgitating Kremlin lies for our dumb fuck citizens to lap up like dogs.
Block X.
Any country that is running an election needs to block X right away.
Seriously, what's the point in keeping it around? There's really very little if any upside.
Fuck that south African Nazi scum
What a fascist cunt.
He knows we can talk to the people of Ukraine, doesn't he? Like, it's not like the olden days where very few people ever directly communicated with people from other countries. You can't just pretend we don't know how they feel about stuff.
Elections are suspended because no one has time to "run an election". Basically, that is not at all what is important right now. A much larger and more powerful country is literally trying to erase them. It's so far failing to do so in a staggering way that is probably super embarrassing. Ukraine is not doing OK in the grander sense, of course, but they are doing way better than anyone would have expected, especially the Ukrainian people. Zelensky has managed to maintain both support and respect, but more importantly, morale.
Zelensky is a big problem to Russia, you know how you can tell? Listen to Elon and Trump talk about him...
It still baffles me that the party that wraps itself in the American flag and calls themselves "Patriots" seem to have no problem what so ever in letting a non-elected immigrant run the country.
