We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Are you saying they should just use lojban?

Presumably they won't get sued by IP ("intellectual property") trolls.

Perhaps you're correct.

I tried looking into copyright status of Lojban and found nothing.

I'm pretty sure wp:Láadan was released into the public domain.
