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.

But I couldn't vote for Harris because that was a vote for genocide.
In maybe the most important race of this country’s history, Harris couldn’t bring herself to denounce genocide and war crimes like a decent human being and instead chose to support a corrupt, fascist foreign nation that more closely resembles Nazi Germany than another country today.
Party loyalists tut-tut at the voters and learn exactly nothing, yet again.
The non-voters voted in Trump who is trying to be more fascist and corrupt than the other country you’re alluding to.
Nah, the Democrats did that.
The democrats who voted surprisingly voted for Harris so I don’t know what you’re on about.
The Democrats politicians who didn't put Trump away and refuses to let go of their billionaire money for the sake of most important election the US is facing yet are the ones who voted Trump in. Blaming the non-voters is just playing into the oligarch's hand.
In our system the votes get counted to figure out who won so the non-voters said they are okay with what’s happening.
So the non-voters all have future sight and can already see that Trump will win? Maybe what they actually thought was that neither side will actually help them and they are not informed enough to know that Trump will win without their help, have you ever thought about that? Seems all you actually care about is helping the oligarchy, so maybe you don't even care to think.
Hey there’s no need to be getting personal just because you don’t agree with me.
Not voting means you support whoever wins, that’s all I’m saying.
I'm not being personal, I'm simply stating that insisting to push that agenda makes you a supporter of oligarchy. Attacking non-voters won't make them want to vote more, it makes them disassociate even more from politics, which is exactly what the oligarchs want, so you can go ahead and prove your support for Trump's takeover by continuing to help his cause.
Non voters aren’t worth going after.
The liberals will still keep voting so the DNC should ignore the left that have already abandoned them and go after the moderate right instead.
At least they consistently vote.
Like what they did in this election? How did that work out for them?
The liberal candidate barely lost while the progressive candidate didn’t even get a million votes.
What progressive candidate? I didn't know the Dems even considered a progressive candidate?
Oh, did you mean Jill Stein? So you consider her a progressive candidate now? What happened to all the Dems calling her a Russian asset?
Funny how people like you count her as a progressive candidate when you want to attack progressives, but dismiss her completely whenever people are talking about alternatives to Kamala.
Would you rather talk about Rachele Fruit from the Socialist Workers Party’s total of 4,225 votes?
She only needed 77,298,355 more votes to beat Trump!
Then, would you rather talk about first past the post and how even with that help, the Democrats can't even beat an idiot like Trump? Why would you think that there are that many people who would vote for a third party that will never win anything vs the DNC if they had been bothered to listen to their support base? The Democrats only have themselves to blame for losing the election.
Again the DNC barely lost.
They beat Trump in 2020.
