News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

So cool. How do you come up with something that clever?
Congratulations, you are ready to start a career in stand-up comedy!
(The former was why I quit doing standup, a lot of them never stop being bitter.)
Well, your in a topic thats clearly only about Americans, and you felt the need to yell "im not American this doesn't affect me", as if anyone cares.
No one cares if you're not american. The topic doesn't affect you by default.
Aside from the headline, the very first sentence of the article.
But we both know you're just playing dumb and you obviously knew it from the headline, because you obviously didn't bother to read the article.
And of course there's the article summary in the body of the post that's blatantly about the US.
c/news is generally for American news. c/worldnews is for everything else.
Yes, I know you don't like that.
See above, re: I know you don't like that.
You have, as far as I can see it, three options: find your own server and make your own news community, accept that this is how it is and you have no way to change it even if you don't like it, or whine about it.
You are choosing the third option for some reason. I'm not sure why.
It's because someone complains about how this community is U.S.-centric every week. It gets exhausting to see constantly. Everyone's aware that it is catering to American biases. It's like how people are constantly announcing that something in Microblog Memes isn't a meme. You see it constantly and it starts to grate on you.
I am sorry to have made it personal. That was wrong of me.
For what it's worth, I think c/worldnews should not exist and should be c/news and then there should be a c/usnews (and a c/uspolitics for that matter) as those official communities, but it's not under my control.
Do someone about it instead of crying
You probably want !world@lemmy.world.
Back on Reddit, /r/news basically became about US news -- I mean, it wasn't a restriction to only be US, but it was just overwhelmed by US news -- and so /r/worldnews was created in response, so that there was a subreddit that explicitly excluded US-specific news, so that it wouldn't get flooded by it. !news@lemmy.world and !world@lemmy.world kinda parallels that relationship.
If you think the US is going to annex Canada, you truly are a moron. I can only imagine the type of work you do. You can't read, so that's probably a problem for you first off.
Realized how wrong you were, did you?
I can respect that.
