World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

And y'all is technically for a small group of people, when referring to a large group of people (like a whole country):
is actually the correct terminology.
Thus:
interesting! i generally think of "y'all" being the group and "all y'all" being every individual in the group. dialects are fascinating
All y'all : collective.
Each y'all : individuals
;-)
Each y'all in my dialect would be like... "I need each y'all to do something for me, you don't all have to do it the same" where as "y'all need to do something for me" is just someone needs to do it, be it an individual or a subset of the group. "all y'all need to do something for me" is "You, as an entire group, have wronged me and I need you all to get in alignment together, and if you don't, there will be consequences"
Yes! Indeed, “All y’all can go fuck yourselves.”
I think in this case, y’all is more accurate. At least to my understanding. “All y’all” is for every single person in a group, based on my understanding. “Y’all” is the group as a whole. As someone who voted against Trump twice, I’m fine being lumped in with my stupid brethren. We deserve it. But I really don’t want to be seen as one member of that stupid group or people.
Splitting hairs, I know, but what else would we do in Internet forums!?
Let me ask you, when you think of Germany in 1940, do you think deeply about all the Germans who weren't Nazis?
Whether we like it or not, that's how history will remember us. The only ones who are remembered outside of that tend to people who fought against Nazism at great personal risk. I am in poverty and in ill health, I will doubtfully be able to achieve that kind remembrance for myself, more likely to become a statistical death, one of the many killed in Trump's consolidation of power.
