World News - Lemmy.World
lemmy.worldA 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
[https://legal.lemmy.world/] 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. - 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. — #### Lemmy

Hello world,
we chose to close down this community and redirect everyone interested in wordnews to https://lemmy.world/c/world because we want to reduce the load on moderators and have at least locally on the instance less duplicate communities.
We did this action with the cooperation of the mods in c/world and c/worldnews.
