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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

You make it seem like I am against artists when I am for everybody, including artists. Don't be so angry because you weren't financially successful in your chosen field. Lots of people don't make it. Some would say art is suffering and the masters were compelled. My hand-wringing is about imbalance. Find peace my friend, we are all artists.
If you're actually advocating for fairness and things like universal basic income or even social safety nets, the worst way to do it is to whine like a wounded banshee when one segment or demographic gets it and you don't, that's been the number one way all of these programs have been shot down in history.
If it's successful and helps the country's economics and quality of life, it will expand, it should be encouraged, not immediately have rocks thrown at it from frustrated people going "why not me?"
Figure out what you actually want and how we get there, and decide if you think you can get everything you want all at once, or if we need to build things to get there.
We are most certainly not all artists, the 2020's have taught me that much.
Terrible reading comprehension, I am angry at your whinging against an objectively good advancement, I am not an artist anymore and have no stake in this. I referenced being an artist because I know how unfair the field is and how unappreciated it is by people who have never taken the time to learn shit about art or don't consider it a real career because they don't take time to notice how much of their lives have been designed by professional and freelance artists.
All I got was the name calling and anger. I'm not too bright though so I'm sure lots went over my head. I'm almost positive it's a very good, well thought out, reasonable screed. My comment was an off the cuff quip, try gaining a little perspective.
