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.

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Japan's transport ministry raided the headquarters of motor giant Toyota on Tuesday, as a scandal over faulty safety data escalated.
The world's largest carmaker has apologised for providing incorrect or manipulated data for safety certification tests.The scandal has shaken the Japanese car industry, with rivals Honda, Mazda and Suzuki also admitting to submitting faulty data.Toyota sold more than 11 million passenger vehicles in 2023.It has said the findings do not affect the safety of vehicles already on the road.The company has suspended the production of three car models - the Corolla Fielder, Corolla Axio and Yaris Cross.It has also been accused of using modified vehicles during safety collision tests, for vehicles that are no longer in production.The raids come a day after Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda apologised to customers and car enthusiasts.He bowed deeply and held the position for a few seconds, which is customary in Japan when companies apologise for wrongdoing.
"We neglected the certification process and mass produced our cars without first taking the proper precautionary steps,” Mr Toyoda said.
Japanese carmakers Honda, Mazda and Suzuki are also due to be inspected by the authorities over the same issue.Honda said it found wrongdoing on tests related to noise and engine power, but it has stressed that its vehicles are safe to drive.Mazda has halted the shipments of some cars and said it will bear the cost to its suppliers.
However, the company added that it is not planning on issuing recalls.The findings also apply to one Suzuki car model that is no longer being produced.Last December, Toyota-owned carmaker Daihatsu closed all of its factories for more than a month, after admitting that it had falsified safety tests.Some of the cars were sold with Toyota branding.Daihatsu compensated more than 400 domestic suppliers during the period where its plants were idle.
The original article contains 300 words, the summary contains 301 words. Saved -0%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
How in the fuck did we end up with more words?
These summary bots are the worst. I need to figure out how to block them
