A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Elon, a pedophile? The guy who, out of absolutely nowhere, accused the guy who saved all those kids from certain watery death of pedophilia?
Wait... No... He couldn't be projecting. Who could have seen this coming? Certainly not nearly all of us... Not nearly every single person with critical thinking skills.
No... We're all mistaken.
Is this the same Elon who made an AI powered child porn generator? That Elon is a pedophile? You don't say
Elon, a pedophile? The guy who, out of absolutely nowhere, accused the guy who saved all those kids from certain watery death of pedophilia?
Wait, I don't think think I heard about this one, what happened?
Elon, the guy who sent multiple incredibly sad emails all but begging "please let me come over and party on your child sex island Mr Epstein I promise I'm cool"? That Elon?
And to top it off, he sent those emails out on Christmas morning instead of spending time with his 40 children.
The response was hilarious though because Epstein was clearly creeped out by Musk. “We don’t have parties anymore”
Also wasn't there an email from Epstein to his assistant, telling her to shake him off?
The good news is that this could be a sweetheart deal because he sang like a canary.
He could have stood up game names and produced evidence. None of them will face justice.
Wait… Pam Bondi is IN the Epstein files?
Why do you think she fucking fought it so hard? She knows where the bodies are buried from her time in Florida.
She's a woman, she will be one of the few to take a fall.
Did it say that? I thought it just mentioned her cause she was responsible for releasing the files.
Ah; it just said she appeared before the panel in the investigation. That makes more sense.
Didn't she help bury cases during her stint as Florida AG?
