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.

haha the truth makes some people say the wildest things they can think of
"WOW HOLY COW ARE YOU REALLY DOUBTING WESTERN PROPAGANDA???"
Yes. I talk to Ukrainians, not people on Twitter pretending to be dogs.
all those Russian casualties are getting to you.. it's nice to see such desperation.. seeing all those planes fall out of the sky must be a little shocking..
What are you talking about you delusional crybaby? The Ukrainian war effort is collapsing. Look at The Hill! Look at TIME, doofus!
How do you think you lost a war while killing 10 Russians for every Ukrainian?
By lying! It's that simple!
you try so hard to be insulting, it just makes you seem small.. and desperate.. does that work where you're from?
That is a funny reply to someone using insults more befitting of a kindergarten teacher than forum users arguing about a war. I am not even swearing at you, kiddo.
Do you need me to spoon feed you links from the New York Times talking about how they lost 850+ Ukrainian troops in Avdeevka?
We're heading into copy pasta levels of cringe
You are quite literally Canadian. Once you finish cheering on the mass death of Ukrainians (to make up for a massive shortfall of artillery & ammo production the US and Ukrainians have both admitted exists across all of Europe, the US, and more), reality will catch up to you. You'll get depressed about climate change and the Russian Threat and ge euthanasia from your government. Nobody will miss you because you spent all your time pretending to be winning a war online instead of living your life.
You literally have a bar in your country with Stepan Bandera and all kinds of Nazi paraphernalia on the walls that people have been flocking to for Instagram posts. You are an international embarrassment. You are several oil and mining companies in a trench coat masquerading as a sovereign state.
Holo cow, are you really believing eastern propaganda?
You could at least keep up with the inconsistencies between Washington DC and Kiev's narratives lol. It's simply a statement of fact that not even the Pentagon or CIA can believe Ukrainian casualty claims.
