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 format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post 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] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country 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.

This community is moderated in accordance with the principles outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which emphasizes the right to freedom of opinion and expression. In addition to this foundational principle, we have some additional rules to ensure a respectful and constructive environment for all users.

2. No social media posts
Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.

MODERATORS
Being a tankie has nothing to do with age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity / expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, sexual identity, or orientation.
It's a shite political opinion where this kind of OUTRIGHT BIGOTRY is excused, because of who's doing it. Fuck that and fuck anyone defending that.
Rule 4 does not excuse silencing people who say: this is fucking awful. People who will defend it are wrong.
Rule 4 is why those people are wrong.
Nobody expressed any position before your comment. You were the first comment on this post. Instead of explaining your position you chose an unprompted attack. If you don't like that rule 4 was used, rule 3 also applied to that comment.
Do people have to be respectful toward bigotry?
Or is bigotry forbidden by rule 4?
It cannot be both.
And the consistent problem with .ML is that they will excuse and promote this bigotry, on the basis that China can do nothing wrong. To them, the actions of the Chinese government are necessarily righteous and just, and anyone saying otherwise will be censored for "racism." That context is unavoidable on Lemmy on the same day a donation reminder pops up asking to fund Dessalines and Nutomic, who are active participants in this pattern of campist censorship.
You wanna circle back and say "eat shit" is poor behavior - fine. But I do not respect the idea that jabbing apologists for this bigotry is somehow a failure of inclusion.
