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.

Yes, the old "mentally ill people have nothing to contribute".
Ever stopped to think about how stupid that fucking argument is, since more intelligence usually means a highers likelyhood of mental disorders?
Some of these leading professors in bipolar diseases take heavy doses if lithium for their personal bipolar diseases.
Disregarding that, the implication you're making is that there aren't Russian trolls on Lemmy, and definitely not a concerted effort of any sort, ever. And if there are Russian troll on Lemmy, they certainly wouldn't lie about being Russian trolls. Like davel@lemmy.ml is always admitting he's a Russian shill.
Oh no wait, he's always pretending to be an American.. How weird, isn't it?
Edit, weird how you stopped accusing me of being a Russian troll?
(also inb4 Russians calling it nazi cross, it's a cross used in military symbols all over the world, extensively in Russian military as well)
No matter what else you are, you're definitely a troll. Reality is worse off with the existence of your posts here.
There is a ignore button for you to use.
I've always found it enlightening when people assert their personal feelings as objective truth. Tells a lot about you, as a person.
So, you don't believe in Russian disinfo?
Why did you stop calling me a Russian troll?
Why can't you answer ANYTHING?
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Whst exactly do you think I've asserted at any point in this thread, except for personal facts about me, like that I'm part of the Finnish Defence Forces?
I've explicitly stated I've not asserted anyone being definitely something. So please, do enlighten me?
Perhaps your English isn't yet on the level where you can distinguish "assert" and "imply"?
This whole thread is just you refusing to understand plain english. Literally doubling down on your stupidity with every post.
Its you refusing to understand plain English and refusing to answer very fucking simple questions.
lol Do you really think the gish gallop works online?
Ironic.
Do remind me, what have I asserted?
You realize that you're posts here don't just go away, right?
Also "your"*
You realise you're still avoiding insanely simple questions, right?
Unlike some, no matter what I say here, I don't have to fear physical reprisal. Unlike Russians. In Russia, being a journalist is extremely fucking dangerous, and that's why most Russians are afraid for their lives and would never admit what a small-cock authoritarian Putin is.
Nice non-sequiter buddy.
Eugh. Such a bore, just vomiting the names of fallacies, not even understanding how one uses them.
Well, make it clear for everyone. You admit that Putin is a war criminal who should be seized and trialed for crimes against humanity, IMMEDIATELY? Right?
Obviously, you're the only one who seems to think anyone in this thread thinks otherwise. Creepily so.
Why on Earth would you imply I "think otherwise"? Oh right, your verbal skills aren't enough to answer a single fucking question in English.
I forgot, izvini comrade.
edit just a reminder, this is my personal knife, and it's explicitly for killing Russian war criminals;
The only thing I can conclude from your behavior is you're trying to manufacture defense of putin out of nothing with performative anger and a refusal to comprehend responses to it.
Stress on the pronoun "I" there.
I'm manufacturing defense of Putin? Me? A member of the Finnish Defence Force? A Finnish reserve member, trained to kill cyka ruskis?
Me who's saying Putin is a pathetic balding whore afraid to even appear in public because his country hates him so? Putler, who has an ICC warrant ouf for his arrest?

I bet you don't dare to say any of those things.
Please, prove me wrong in that aspect. Please
ps how much military training you have?
Yes, manufacturing. Because everyone responding to you just must be defending putin no matter what they actually said. And you'll fight anyone who says otherwise.
So you can't say that Putin is bad, you keep saying I must be defending him, when I explicitly detail his warcrimes (which you're too blyat to admit to), and I'm the one supporting him, despite me being part of the Finnish military?
How do you explain that?
Jesus your guys' education is just such garbage. Almost as if you're not even the same fucking species :D
Literally everything you just said is wrong. And you wonder why people think you're the one on putin's side.
https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/situation-ukraine-icc-judges-issue-arrest-warrants-against-vladimir-vladimirovich-putin-and
Doesn't matter what you pretend is real. Reality is real. And the reality is that the fucktard Putin has an ICC warrant out for him, and you're refusing to accept that while FUDding that I'm a Russian troll despite me being a part of the Finnish military.
You guys honestly are on a totally different level, intellectually. But... not in a good way. :D
That's rich coming from the guy who refuses to actually read the replies he's proformatively railing against.
Ah, thanks foe telling me. Every accusation is an admission. So my half-page comments are too long for you to read, got it.
Not a single person has had anything to say about the actual subject.
When do you figure out that I'm not a cyka blyat who's afraid of some randos on Lemmy disagreeing with me? If you do, you're pathetic.
Are you pro- or anti-Russian?
Simple question 😀
Buddy, if you haven't figured that out by now, you're just willfully ignorant. You're out here punching at ghosts while the guy you pretend to hate is laughing.
Just can't get the nuance, can you?
Doesn't matter how much I repeat it. You can't address my point, while pretending it's completely wrong. Implying that you're very much dismissing anything I said.
You disagree that Russian disinformation is rampant on Lemmy?
It's rampant everywhere. You should know that better than anyone.
Ah, the old "it's equally bad everywhere".
No it's not. Finnish forums don't have the same issue, for instance, since it's hard for Russians to learn the language. Same with most other non-English services.
Reminds me of the Russian guy who sort of tried admitting that Putin is a bad person (but didn't admit to his warcrimes) but he only ever did that in sentenced where he would basically add a disclaimer; "... like all world leaders."
Nope. Putin and Zelensky aren't on the same line. Putin is a war criminal wanted by the ICC for his various crimes against humanity. Zelensky is an actually empathic leader defending his country.
I think the problem here is you somehow think you're arguing a different point. You've missed the context of these posts so badly that you're attacking only people on the side you claim to be on.
I'm not attacking anyone. I commented my own thing — as is allowed online — and you're pretending you can't even see what I've written.
