What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media postsAvoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangentsStay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may applyIf something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

I’m bookmarking this post just to see how long it takes for him to get banned

Posting global news to a global news community.

Fair but also their post history makes it seem like they're behaving for once, soooooo who knows?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I've always behaved. My entire post history is public. Most of the hate toward me started before the election, when I refused to vote for Biden, Harris, or Trump. I voted Socialist, and back then, that pissed off people. A lot. Feel free to look at articles on Lemmy in the months before the election. Many people, not just me, but many who announced they were going to vote third party, were called traitors.

Times have changed. Voting Socialist isn’t seen as nearly as "evil" as it was last year.

Probably because people finally realised it was non-voters, not third-party voters, who cost the election. Even if every third-party voter had backed Harris, she still would have lost.

I voted Socialist, proudly. I got banned and called a troll for it. Some people still won't let it go. Regardless of what I post. And it's very possible I'll even get banned in this community for my socialist leanings.

But back to the topic of the article: I do believe this news. It won't happen in near future, but I 100 percent believe that China is indeed planning to build on the moon. I think they'll be able to do it. And the people laughing, well they haven't been paying attention.

Don’t be fooled. It’s the same person up to the same old tricks

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

What tricks? Advocating and voting for Socialist causes and Socialist candidates? Because I still do that. Check my post history.

Lemmy is actually starting to warm up to the idea of third parties now, so I was right all along; I was just an early adopter.

This is a World News community, not a politics community. So your scapegoating me and all things Socialist doesn't really matter here and is off-topic. I've posted World News to this World News community.

Hopefully you can post some articles here and help Lemmy content grow as well.

Thanks, friend!

You laugh because you think you're being clever, not because what I said was wrong.

Again, please contribute articles to this community rather than hate. Thanks, friend!
