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.

Look at the stupid America has unleashed on the world.
Put your dicks away, you’re stinking up the place.
I hate that so many in my country are oblivious to the repercussions of electing this monster.
Maybe half of you shouldn't of stayed home to 'punish Kamala'?
People who didn't vote are just as guilty as those who voted for Trump.
Especially the ones who refused to vote for her on the basis of the genocide in Palestine as if Trump wasn't just as bad or worse in supporting Israel and as if the American establishment hadn't always supported Israel. That idea that somehow not voting for her in that election would improve a single thing about that genocide was so stupid.
I was saying as if everyone before Biden was also supporting Israel, somehow Israel became such big news around election year
It doesn't really matter if Israel became news, the only thing relevant to the election should have been if voting Harris, Trump or not voting was likely to have different outcomes for the topic of the genocide and there was no reason to believe that there was a chance of that.
Girl you’re preaching to the goddamn choir here. I’m so fucking sick of saying “I fucking told you so, dipshit” to so many people. I’m so, so tired.
There are three voting conditions. Red, blue, no vote (generally, discounting third parties). That means non vote is half as impactful as an opposite vote. So they are about half as guilty.
Okay I’ll take the bait. Thought we’re done with this bullshit discussion.
Maybe Kamala should have given a fuck about Palestinians. Why do you leave out the part where she showed the middle finger to her own voters whenever she could, same as Biden? People have been telling the dems for a year to support Palestine or lose their vote, but the dems were willing to lose the election over Palestine and they did. The democrats betrayed their voters, not the other way around.
I guess those voters gave no fucks about either Palestinians or Ukrainians, considering both of those genocides have gotten worse under Trump.
Nice deflection. Classic "blame the voter" propaganda. You're using a false dilemma to avoid addressing the actual issue: Dems actively funded and supported the genocide despite massive protests from their base.
Trump being bad doesn't absolve Harris/Dems of responsibility for their own actions. Democratic leadership chose genocide over winning. They gambled that voters had no choice but to vote for them anyway. They lost that bet.
And with this I’m out, no time for blue MAGA.
The Democrats do not, and have never supported genocide.
Funny, because the Republican party enthusiastically endorses genocide at home and abroad and apparently that is not worth any outcry or opposition according to you.
MAGA cosplaying as a 'concerned' Democrat.
Hey now, it was slightly more than a third, not half!
I’m sorry for us.
