    @mods, this community needs a rule establishing some minimum relevancy threshold. News like the one in this post may technically be “world news” but they would hardly be worth a mention in any non-local newspaper

      If news gets traction and interaction from people around the world, who are you to say it isn’t world news?

        Err… you are asking that even if I literally said it is world news and only complained about how little relevance (global newsworthiness) the fact has?

        Anyways, it seems I must have mistaken the purpose of this community… I have no interest in a twitter-like feed or random low-quality news from all over the world so I’m leaving. Sorry if I’ve been a bother.
