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.

I'm not a Brit, so there's that...
Well then you're either australian, (which is cool, love you guys) or south african, and maybe can talk shit, or definitely also can't.
Definitely not South African...
Not Aussie either
You said hard cunt and yank, I suppose you could be Canadian but they tend not to use the word cunt. And if you're anything else then you're definitely trying to be like someone from one of those countries. Why?
I'm disappointed in your poor geographical knowledge
I'm definitely not Canadian
You didn't answer the question. Where are you from? What have you done to prevent fascism?
And poor geographical knowledge? How so? In what way? I'm working off 2 words and I fully suspect you're lying. Your rage against America isn't necessarily misplaced, as long as it's well founded and isn't hypocritical. But let's not act like America is the only country that's done evil. And demonizing the entire population when less than half of the populace supports it only hurts the friends trying to right the ship. Shitting on all Americans like that is more likely to push more people to the right, than help our cause. Vitriol only separated people, trust me, I've been here for 40 years and watched as the zipper of cohesion has undone at different rates over the years.
I know you have rage. I do too. It's well founded. But point that rage where it belongs, and encourage those working to save us as a global society and species. To do that, we have to cut out the cancer. But currently that cancer is in the nervous system of the world. If you cut out the nervous system to cure the cancer, we all die anyways. You understand what I'm saying? Don't be trump, alienating allies never gets what you want. Just be cognizant of that.
I'm a Kiwi
Alright well then that does go to my American ignorance because we often lump you in with Australia, apologies for that.
Edit: however, I would also say that that doesn't have anything to do with geographical knowledge.
Also, are you indigenous?
