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.

we don't need to report on every stupid thing trump says.
We're in for a rough 4 years...
and another 50 cleaning up the huuuge shit pile left behind.
and that's an optimistic estimate, requiring voters to choose planet and (all) people over party and self from here on.
Lmao.
This shit is not going to last 50 years. Buy a gun.
The shit that he broke last time still hasn't been fixed yet.
It takes a lot more time, effort, and money to build or repair than it doesn't to break stuff.
Even if Trump Vance and Musk all die in a plane crash, the rest of the MAGA-GOP would still be there being insane, and Project 2025 would still be grinding along puppetering whoever the next republican leader is.
I’m saying America, as a country, isn’t lasting 50 years. Not how it looks now.
The US won't be habitable in 50 years.
You forget Musk-fuelled presidencies that set us back even more while we try to repair the damages, because morons keep voting R no matter what
When he's the President of the United States, yes we will. Unfortunately.
We were so fucking close to never having to hear about this piece of shit ever again.
Not all of us are American, I for one would love to block all news from the US; It's extra salt in the wound that this was posted on WORLD news.
Cause it's about Panama...
yes but it's really about TFG
It's about trump threatening panama, is that not US politics to you?
The main focus here is clearly the US, panama is just the subject.
No, by definition it is international politics.
What would US politics be, then?
This is about the US, and its diplomacy with panama. It is not, by definition, international politics. The US and trump, as i said, are clearly the focus in this article. If it was vice versa, ie, X country interacting with the US, for example, it would be passable. This is US internal politics.
Why couldn't have this been posted to a US news community? why this of all places?
Yes by definition the diplomacy between two Nations is International politics. If it was internal us politics then it would be United States politics. I'm not sure what's complicated about this, it's common sense.
Of course it could also be posted to a US News community. It could also be posted to a Panama news Community I suppose. Sometimes posts are appropriate more than one community.
On second thought, yeah, you're probably right. I'm just really tired of hearing about trump, and my comments were a knee jerk reaction. Sorry.
As an American, so am I.
It's so unfortunate that any of his big moves have international consequences. I don't want the world to suffer from our mistakes but that's the way it is.
By your own logic, that wouldn't be international news - it would be x country news and shouldn't be posted here either. Why would it be "passable" if the news was about another country doing it?
When Trump starts threatening to glass the EU with ICBMs, would that be US news only and not international? After all, it would be about the US and its arsenal of nuclear weapons.
That was probably a bad definition, sorry. I'm just tired of hearing of US news. But yeah, i would agree that the example would be international news.
I totally get it, I live in the US and I'm so goddamn sick of hearing about this nonsense. The worst part for everybody else is how much money is in the US economy, which means that basically everything we do affects the world and is therefore international/world news.
One of the first things he's going to do is increase taxes on the poor and what's left of the middle class and give tax breaks to the rich and corporations. Even that is world news in my opinion just because of the US status as pretty much the only world superpower. My country spends more on the military than the rest of the top 10 combined.
Don't forget that about half of those countries are also our allies (at least for a few months longer).
Yeah, same. and probably hearing trump's name all the time will make you easily annoyed by hearing the word "US".
Anything related to domestic policy? News from the regional, state and/or local levels?
As i've already said in other comments, i've changed my mind, and i agree. I was just tired of hearing of trump and US news all the time, and made that comment.
When one country's (soon to be) leader directly threatens another country, this is by definition "international".
I agree that Trump is getting far more attention that a person like him deserves, but him being the next head of a major nation makes him impossible to completely ignore.
Yup, as i said in another comment, i've changed my mind. I just really am annoyed of hearing of trump all the time, and made this comment.
This does seem important globally. We know from history, and this shows he’s starting again from before he matters, that US diplomacy will be threaten first. Unfortunately this what y’all have to look forward to as our way of doing business, with allies, independents, and competitors
This one may not be that important, but I would like to remind you that unfortunately the bullshit 'murica does does affect the rest of us.
Yep, i agree. It's just really tiring to see US news most of the time. This was probably a knee jerk reaction from me. Sorry.
