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.

No ad blockers or nothing. And yet you also have ads that don't exist for me and no mobile header. It's the same in Thunder or my browser.
Unusual. Could be regional, could also be your OS. Sites can display differently depending on whether it detects your OS/native browser as mob, desktop, etc. So while the CSS is obv scaling to mobile, it may be displaying a diff version of the site.
Or malware 😁 No really, it can make sites be like that (force to desktop) to load in content. First signs of malware is unusual behaviour in internet-related applications not behaving how they're supposed to because something's sneakily altering the behaviour and hoping you don't realise.
I've been on sites that track how many articles I've read and wait to hit me with the pay wall after some amount
Yeah, but our mate's phone here isn't even loading the mobile site. So either it's a dodgey half-assed phone with some random operating system or unknown browser, or something's telling it to behave like that. Forget the whole paywall part if you must. There's no mobile elements being loaded. The site's being told the device is not a mobile device or a normal OS. And I highly doubt that site's ignoring W3C standards, since it isn't run by a old guy named Gary still using Geocities.
Just sayin' this is a common malware indicator. The whole point of it is to convince that everything's normal, so at the moment I'd consider it C-grade success malware because apparently to everyone else this very abnornal behaviour seems normal.
But what do I know. Ain't my phone anyway. Forget I mentioned it out of the blue for no reason :) I'm sure it's fiiiiine. Especially if they're on an custom or cheap Android-based OS and don't know what they're doing (Note: Drenched sarcasm)
Idk what you mean by mobile elements aren't being loaded. Does the title of the article not count? I can see it behind the paywall banner
Top header with mobile menu. Usually set to only show for mainstream mobile browsers. Could only be WebKit. iOS only got full WebKit support in 17.
It’s iOS dog. It’s stock.
You might get a number of "free" articles before you start seeing it.
