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. 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.

While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.
This first US company they (and everyone) needs to boycott is Meta.
I'm in Canada and Facebook is huge for my business. We get more bang out of a free social media post than paying for advertisements anywhere.
I fricking HATE IT.
On a personal level, I almost never use facebook. I refuse to put it on my phone and really only use it not to post stuff for the business - which I do through a 3rd party social media app.
FB is huge in Canada for personal stuff too, me and my friends do not post meal pic or vacation or things like this, but damn marketplace and some hobbies group are strong there. Just the "Made in Canada" FB group grew from 50'000 members to 1.1 million in less than a month.
FB can be easily replaced with Lemmy, it's just a question of age/generation I guess
no not really, its a totally different thing. you cant follow people here, nobody here uses their real name, and you can't limit visibility of content to just friends. marketplace is also not a thing, and that feature is not just yet another community

And so: Hello Lemmy! Here I am! Left 'socials' like reddit, dropped hotmail and google accounts ...... i'ts not much but it's start
Support your local breweries and buy their sodas and not coca cola <3 I do this and ngl Oettinger cola-mix and Riegele Spezi are amazing
Apfel Schorle is much better than a Coke anyway
Literally the only thing I miss about living in a Germanic country lmao
Wdym? We have Apfelschorle
Guess they aren't really our allies after all. The truth always comes out eventually.

Yea, your comment history reveals you to be a twat.
You can call me names. If their population's intention is to harm us economically then maybe they aren't great allies?
It was meant to be descriptive
Twat: a stupid or annoying person
Their populations intentions are to
However, the US has never been a great ally for anyone else. Historically they abandon nations whose use for them has expired. Economically and strategically they treat their so called allies as subjects, now even more so than before.
Just own it. Stop pretending that engaging in bullying insulting behavior is somehow different because YOU did it. You're a bully and it's ok, I've met a lot of bullies and you won't be the last. You hate anyone that disagrees with you but i don't hate you.
I am not a bully for insulting you, unless you mean the archaic usage of bully:
a fine chap
Just own it. If you insult and degrade others for having a different opinion than you yes, you are a bully. It's ok. Your hate is making you powerful. 
Lol okay. I do not really care if I insult people whose opinions I do not respect.
I knew you would get there.
Yeah well, I am still not a bully for insulting you and frankly this weak trolling is a little tiring.
It's ok you're a bully. You have insulted me and continuously harassed me for days even though I have forgiven you. Idk what more i can do to help you to become more comfortable with your new self realization of your need to harm others emotionally.
I kinda want to harm bad people emotionally with my factually correct insults though 🤔
What makes them bad? That they disagree with you is the answer.That is what fuels your bullying. That and your insatiable need to taste fresh blood. 
yup call the KETTLE black, wake up kids. USA is much better than other countries
Ding, dong, the reich is dead!
Drag is very much looking forward to singing this.
