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.

American Christianity is a death cult straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as the transparently evil bad guys. They should not be allowed to steer modern society in any way.
I have multiple factions now in my campaign based on their actions. For example, one is manufacturing an "invasion" and is about to plan a false flag event to gain even more power. Turns out fascists are pretty villainous people
you know, there's a super easy way to stop it.
If it's so easy why don't you do it
because it takes all of us
Doesn't sound super easy then
ridiculous, isn't it? they'll show up to stand around doing nothing holding signs, but when asked to actually fight for their beliefs they suddenly become pacifists and cowards.
it's easy to see why we'll never win.
Who are you talking about? You said it takes all of us, are you just talking about all protestors or all Americans or all liberals?
The people protesting recently have not been "doing nothing" they've been doing everything they can to stop or obstruct ICE agents from disappearing people. It took a military deployment to stop them. That is not "doing nothing"
everyone left of center. enough people that they can't come after us all.
and i don't see people effectively stopping ICE. i see people making big shows for their social media. if you want results, you have to make them scared to do their job.
So you want 150 million + people to all throw their bodies in front of federal agents at the same time.
Yeah, totally super easy, you have good reason to be defeatist. You set the bar unimaginably high and your fellow citizens didn't clear that bar so it's time to give up.
A good DM wouldn't use such a cartoonishly evil villain. It wouldn't be believable.
seriously, as long as believing in gods and shit isn't seen as the mental disorder it is in the whole world, humanity will never drag itself out this swamp of stupidity we are currently in.
If we're going to have a religious book, it should be The Egg.
rms is the only prophet I'll ever believe /s
...that was a significant theme in 2061: oddysey three...
I don’t care if heaven exists, but people like this really make me hope there’s a Hell.
Hey, take that back! No fictional demon, devil, or yugoloth can ever be as evil as humans like these.
