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.

Truly a "leopards ate my face" moment for American Muslims.
The democrats were already funding billions of dollars worth of leopards in Gaza. This narrative that Muslims voted for this is disgusting when they really had no choice in the matter regardless of what a joke of a "democracy" we have pretends. Why do you think democrats refused to let them speak at the DNC?
Lol. They absolutely had a choice.
A shitty choice and a REAAAAAAALLY shitty choice are two different choices. They chose poorly.
A majority chose Jill Stein, the progressive candidate against genocide. A majority of them didn't vote for Trump.
Jill Stein? You mean the clown that shows up a couple months out from every election, then disappears for 4 years? You mean the Jill Stein that got more votes than any other 3rd party candidate and that amounted to a whopping HALF OF A SINGLE PERCENT of the total votes cast by Americans?
That Jill Stein?
Lol. Anyone that voted 3rd party for president is a fool of the highest caliber. They threw their votes away on candidates that COULD NOT win, ensuring a Trump victory. Because every one of those fools went into the election not knowing if their vote for a 3rd party was going to be the deciding factor of the election.
Palestinians, Muslims, Blacks, Hispanics listen up. This is how much Democrats respect you. If you ever decide to not do exactly what they want, expect racist treatment from them like you see here. Might as well find a party that actually respects you & that won't genocide you when it benefits them.
Truly Democrats failed yet again, but here you are blaming Muslims.
Hmm.
Vote for a guy funding an ally doing bad things but at least expressing disapproval and working for a party that has been known to be flexible with its constituent's desires.
Or.
Vote for a guy that made it clear before the election that he believes Israel should steamroll Palestine and is the leader of a party that he 100% controls, so there's no room for flexibility.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Doing bad things? I suppose Elon just made a straight arm gesture, too? Or is it only blue team that gets euphemisms?
Vote for someone saying Israel is an ally and has a right to defend itself while they carry out genocide or voting for someone who says Israel should do genocide doesn't sound different to me in substance, only in window dressing.
I voted for Harris btw, so don't start.
I mean does anything in your reply change that Harris was a better option for Palestine's future than Trump?
I don't see what you're getting at here.
It's not "doing bad things", it's funding and supporting genocide. That's a disgusting euphemism.
