MODERATORS
No need to check my comments. It’s just part of the news. It’s a thing that is happening that is being widely covered.
Widely covered in America. The rest of the world probably skipped that one.
I'm aware of it, mostly because of my doomscrolling of Fediverse but I also saw a Brazilian news outlet (G1 Globo) publishing a news article about it. So I can guarantee you; no, we "the rest of the world" didn't skip that one.
In fact, personally, I'm far from merely aware of the upcoming USian "Faces of Death 2026 Remake" as a Brazilian; it's one of the things actively weighing currently in my head in ways that, simultaneously with all the ongoing shitshow I'm watching going on in this demiurgic world and around me, are further desensitizing me regarding my own... fate.
Oh, it goes without saying, no, I'm not going to watch the awful upcoming live assassination.
!general@lemmy.world
Unless Reuters, BBC, and the Associated Press are secluded to the US only, its world news.
And for those of us who don't have our antenna/cable connected, and live in Australia.... or anywhere else in the world....?
Context does help when you're posting on a website the world has access to
Then I guess it really wasn’t meant for them to begin with and it’s okay if they just scroll past it.
A significant part of Lemmy is very US centric and that’s why it’s hard to find anything interesting.
So it's alright with you if someone from another country stumbles across a link or advertisement for the live execution and pays to see it? As long as they're not american....
I’d prefer no one watch it. Regardless of where they’re from.
And I'd agree - so wouldn't it make sense to provide context to the world, considering you provided the information to me - and probably others...
Because sooner or later. It’s going to reach everyone. Better to get ahead of it- provide perspective, and hope it’s taken seriously than to ignore it and hope for the best.
Do you remember to stretch first before contorting yourself to find a way to be offended?
Sorry that I hurt your feelings by pointing out that context would have been helpful in this post.
Jesus fucking Bean Soup, dude. Not everything caters to you. That you don't care doesn't mean it's not a relevant topic
Most people across the world, when following news, don't check Reuters, BBC and AP. They're all in English and pay little attention to more narrow national news outside US/UK.
Fair enough. I can see that. The point remains however.
Reuters and BBC have news about it, but it’s not top news. You need to scroll a bit and keep your eyes open or you’ll miss it.
Oh. Well then please accept my apologies for posting about something that so many people are unaware of. I’ll get and keep the entire population of lemmy’s interests in mind before I think to post about something that concerns me.
You’re welcome. Always glad to be of assistance.
Hey kiddo. This wasn’t for you. You really need to stop the entitled bulshit and scroll past things that don’t pertain to you. Mmmkay?
Tell your little entitled friends to stop attacking people for posting shit that they have no interest in, or aren’t informed about and I won’t have to call them out in defense of myself.
Blocking you because you’re annoying.
American mind can't comprend the world is bigger than the anglosphere
Foreign mind can’t comprehend that not everything is meant for their consumption.
You posted this on !general@lemmy.world. And you have the gall to talk down to people asking what it is about.
Ahh. Okay… so it’s cool to bag on America. But everything else is off limits. Don’t just not like being excluded? Does everything HAVE to appeal to you?
Blocked.
Bro I live in America and your vague-ass post is the first I've heard of this. I guess I live under a rock, idk, but you don't have to act like an asshole to people who have no idea what you're talking about.
I’m not acting like an asshike. I’m just tired of hiding peoples hands and guiding them to a point. For fucks sake. If they don’t know what’s happening or what the pair is about, they can move on. I don’t go making fun of people and being an asshole to others when they pair shit I don’t understand.
Believe it or not, complaining about "handholding" people who just haven't looked at the news yet today and happened to stumble across your post first, sounds a lot like being an asshole.
Yet it’s not being an asshole to comment on a post complaining that you don’t understand it?
There a fuckton of shit posted on lemmy I don’t understand. Linux shit. Cybersecurity shit. Anime shit…. You’ve know what I do?
I move past it. It’s not for me. I don’t need to understand it and indont act like an asshole to the authors of these posts that I don’t get it.
I’m not entitled to understand everything I consume. So how about you go complain to the kids that believe energy. They read needs to be undershot and direly written and formatted for their abject understanding.
You can bet I won’t ever post to this community again though. So congrats- touve helped to curate the content in your little walled garden.
