What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media postsAvoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangentsStay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may applyIf something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

so, this is a US news community now?

Doesn't have to be. Post something else.

Edit: per other commenters, the lemmy_world community isn’t very active. Looks like [email protected] is a better bet.

Note that for some reason when I subbed to that one I couldn’t see any posts but after a few hours I started to see any newly posted content. I’m guessing that has something to do with how kbin and Lemmy integrate. So if you don’t see any post when adding it just subscribe anyway and then wait a bit

Tip: If you are looking for global news without as much US content try out: [email protected]

Don't let the name put you off. It is a real news community.

Anime_titties is very good

I guess we need another anime_tities on lemmy.zip

Is it just me or has there not been a post there in months?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It is not just you. Maybe people reading this will “Be the change that you want to see in the world” by posting some non US centric news there.

I think they mean this one https://kbin.social/m/anime_titties . That is what I thought they meant. This anime_titties posts daily

Sorry I don't know how to make that a Lemmy link

Yes, the Guardian is based in Alabama. Furthermore prices have not risen anywhere else in the world.

the u.s. economy has a significant impact on the global economy, as well as local economies in other nations. so yes, this is relevant 'global' news.
