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.

Trump said last week, "There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal" to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
We had a deal. You broke it you colossal asshole.
It was not HIS deal...
Even then it doesn't matter, CUSMA was negotiated by him and look how that is playing out.
As an American, an i supposed to cheer for Iran in this situation? Trump is more likely to destroy us.
No one to cheer for, we don't do good guys anymore, just various levels of bad guys fighting between themselves.
It’s been a while we haven’t done good guys
Everything Iran has said about the US in the past appears to be actually true with the current administration. Why would they bother negotiating?
Not just with the current administration
Trump doesn't even negotiate in good faith with the US's allies, it's even worse for a country like Iran. Why the hell should Iran negotiate with this clown? They're making the right call here.
uhhhh... does that mean that they either have or are close to a warhead?
yes, especially with russia helping them.
Should submitters upload thumbnails or will it fetch one automatically ?
Reuters is not a fan of VPN's and scrapers. The Lemmy image search bot fails to scrape their thumbnails. Newer Lemmy versions have a manual option to fix this but .world needs to update first.
It will automatically if the target site doesn't block the request (Cloudflare, rate limits, etc). Per community rules and best practice, the original article URL must always be the post url; uploading a thumbnail will override that (currently).
Once LW updates past 0.19.6 or so, there should be a field for custom thumbnail where you can do so (in addition to the post URL). I don't know how the rules apply to that (not yet relevant for LW), but I would hope people wouldn't abuse that to post unrelated images. Prob something to bring up to the mod team once LW updates to a version that supports custom thumbnail images during post creation.
IMO, just drop the original link. If the thumbnail works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't.
You know, I have no idea.
I think it depends on the linked-to servers.
If the server thinks the Lemmy thumbnail/summary generator is a bad bot, it will not return a thumbnail. If it's actually a decent web server, I think the Lenny instance will generate & distribute a thumbnail automatically and attach a summary.
I presume this is handled by the posts hosting instance.
I've noticed some sites that get linked to don't have a thumbnail and some sort of "prove you aren't a bit" subtext/caption.
And others work fine
