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.

Forget the wisdom of the Navajo at your peril because not everyone else will.
We named it after an indigenous people from our home, a home some of us invaded into while some of us were brought against their will precisely for the trauma it bore (and yet the rainbow of rhythms they brought to share despite!), the some of us that were already here are from a family that experienced this gift first and yet it took war in response to genocide for those in power to see their wisdom and yet even as we paid dearly for that lesson we still struggle to admit we are actively trying to erase our teachers.
Before you dismiss the responsibility of entering into a foreign conversation and honoring our grief, our love and our sorrow by living together with us, consider the kind of animal that may rise from the hills that have witnessed it all and yet persisted, if you do not listen.
Even when they chain this animal to genocide, we know the truth of what it was intended to remember and never to forget, just ask Chelsea Manning,
My wife just explained to me that Navaho Indians were used for communications by the Americans, because the Germans didn't understand it. That's quite clever of course.
I suppose that's the point of the first picture, but I have no idea what the point of the second picture is.
Pretty sure that's the radome on an Apache.
Checks out.
Normally I am ideologically opposed to not explaining things if other friendly people ask, but in this case the lack of explanation is the point.
I know what meaning that "symbol" has and so do many people, but you do not, and that gives us power to have a conversation outside your grasp in plain sight.
You are perfectly capable of figuring out what the second picture is, but it would already be too late in this metaphor for you to learn if we weren't having a conversation and instead fighting (which I do not desire).
Goddam you're a child. 🤡
Thank you : )
