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.

Stop acting like the problem is religion-specific instead of empirically inherent to religion.
Right, that's exactly what fundamentalist christians are known for. Not at all for sending conversion missions abroad, child abuse and witholding basic human rights from people who refuse to convert.
Outside of your echo chamber, that is actually what they are known for. You're going to be in for a rude awakening soon if you insist upon continuing to refuse to engage with the actual, real, world.
Maybe try reading the news sometimes
Try reality.
Exactly. Good luck with your attemps.
No, they aren’t, literally only Christian’s think that, and only about themselves and their specific sects of Christianity. I know, I grew up super Christian, I’ve met them. I’ve been there. And when I gave up the faith and ventured outside the Christian echo chamber I was shocked at the actual reality of how people saw us. How I see them now.
No rational person believes that.
You’re either being willfully ignorant or you’re an idiot.
Stop defending terrorism.
lol how is pointing out that Christianity also creates violence defending terrorists? You’re fucking deranged man. Stop trying to promote christofascism through sheer force of stupidity.
Insults aren't going to make people blind to reality dude, no matter how warm and fuzzy they make you feel inside.
Look at the votes here dude. Literally nobody agrees with you. Just shut up and take the L.
It’s always funny to me when people who believe in magic try to condescend to me about reality. You’re a hilarious person.
Do you realize how blatantly obvious it is to identify someone who has put exactly zero effort into understanding religions? Just because you surround yourself with virtual yes-men doesn't make your perceptions correct.
Keep that up and you might end up making a fool of yourself, like all those seniors who went out to protest Tesla dealerships, not realizing that today's youth don't actually like them or their ideals very much, having to grow up in the fallout of their progressive utopia.
Pfft. You have no idea what you're talking about. All religions are personal beliefs that can be co-opted by powerfull forces and changed into abhorrent cults that end up murdering people.
Christianity is at the forefront of that. Forced/enforced adherence to 'shared commonality' doesn't make for a free people. It only helps birth more cogs for the machine. And you pointing specifically at Islam simply shows your inherent racism and simple lack of knowledge and wisdom.
Aw come on mods, don’t remove this guys comments. Let everybody see.
You kidding? Mods around here don't allow things that challenge the orthodoxy too succinctly.
What a funny way to phrase that with the argument you’re trying to make. You just have absolutely no self awareness, do ya pal?
Rational and religious lol. Go ahead and tell me what the majority religion was in Germany in the 1940s. I'll wait while you Google it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_persecution_of_the_Catholic_Church_in_Germany
"Hitler was born to a practicing Catholic mother, Klara Hitler, and was baptized in the Roman Catholic Church"- Germany was like 90 percent Christian lol.
They were anti catholic. Because they were protestants. Like… do you think these are good points for what you’re trying to argue? Because they are proving the opposite point you’re trying to argue, you fucking donkey.
