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.

Except I'm not resubscribing Disney.
That's not how it works.
You haven't felt the pain of freedom of my wallet.
If you don't resubscribe, then you can't unsubscribe the next time!
I really hope you're trying to be funny.
It's the only ring these companies understand.
If there's no one left who gives a shit they can do whatever they like and won't feel any pain next time.
The people have some power with their wallet by only if they use it.
You're under no moral obligation to resubscribe at all, but if nobody does, they made a financial mistake by putting the show back on the air.
Are you serious? If they don't have subscribers, they can do whatever they want? I mean sure, but who gives a shit, they don't make money because they don't have any customers!
You don't give them more money so you can take it away later, that's idiotic. Spend your money on a decent VPN and torrent that shit, or read books instead of consuming so much corporate capitalist empire propaganda, your life will be better anyway.
If they don't have any people who give a shit as subscribers they can do what they want. They can go batshit insane alt right loony neo nazi with no further penalty, indeed, if they're pretty much the only subscribers, there's a financial benefit to go further magat and a loss to do otherwise. And your daughter well plead with you to get disney so she can watch pretty princesses and if you cave, then your son will grow up racist.
When fox pulls this shit they are fine, because sane people aren't watching anyway. The only reason disney backed down is that it hurt them. If no one goes back, it can't possibly hurt them a second time.
But absolutely you sold do what toy want with your money and if this was a permanent deal breaker for you, go ahead and permanently reject them. I'm OK with that, really, but I can't pretend that you'll have ongoing influence on their future decision making at the same time.
Financial mistake? Putting the show back on slows the bleeding, so they don't lose even more subscribers. Seems like the wise choice (after the dumb choice that preceded it).
No the finanical mistake was the beginning. Eroding the goodwill people had for your company was the mistake. Rebuilding that will bring back the money.
You're right of course.
