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.
-
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.

They're also rife in Christianity and Judaism. So again, attempting to get everyone to focus on just the one.
I very seriously doubt you having anything to do with activism. Unless it's the right wing kind. Otherwise you wouldn't be trying to carry water for any religious extremist. But no you're out here perpetuating islamophobia specifically when if you were LGBTQ you'd know the extreme Christians and Jews would have you up against the wall just as quick.
Yes they are rife there too, nowhere near as much, but it still exists. And I don't like them either.
Fuck off with the ad hominems. I'm not right wing, that's exactly why I'm against the bigotry that Islam pushes, and you're pushing. You're the one sounding extremely right wing with your acceptance of bigotry and pandering to religious extremists.
Me pointing out that Islam pushes bigotry is not an example of bigotry. I also complain about Nazis like you, you gonna cry about me being nazi-phobic?
Fuck off, bigot. I bet you'd love it if the religious whackos lynched people like me and continued treating women like cattle.
Blocking you on account of you clearly being a homophobic misogynist. Yuck.
Right. I forgot if I don't hate all Muslims I'm a bad guy?
Yeah no. That's literally the position of a racist. Just because you can't see it, doesn't make it less true. It doesn't matter how much you astroturf other positions. Not being a bigot is very very simple. You just take people as they are, without judgement for their race, religion, nationality, or ethnicity. You certainly don't go off saying that because some Muslims are idiots, all of them are. The same judgment can easily be applied to Christians, Jews, Americans, Europeans, Africans, Asians, etc.
Despite all of your protesting of being on the right side of things you are failing that very simple test.
