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.

Eat shit buddy, you don't know me, as you know.
I know what you've been spewing about Gaza on here, which is plenty information to determine that I will NOT be eating the shit you're shoveling and that you have nothing but pro-apartheid genocide denying shit to offer on this particular topic.
You go have fun with that at the local Hasbara Fellowship while the rest of us deal with the objective reality you're denying.
Wow bud we get it, you feel so bad, you're such a good person. 30,000,000 deaths if war breaks out with Iran is going to make you shit yourself.
My bowel control has improved tremendously since I quit drinking a few years ago but sure, I'd be less than pleased should that come to pass.
I'm also going to be quite upset if the US invades Canada or Alex Jones becomes emperor of Europe, though. Both of those things are exactly as likely as a full scale war between Israel and Iran, let alone one with more then a third the casualties of WWII 🙄
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Read some books little kid.
You can repeat your lies and baseless assumptions that only ignorant people aren't unconditionally supporting the genocide of a fascist apartheid regime all you want, doesn't make any of it true 🙄
Make sure you have all your Israel-bad buzz words and zero substance whatsoever.
Honestly, how far did you go in school? I have to know.
The projection is strong with this one..
Every single word has a specific meaning that is true of the Israeli government. Just because you're brainwashed by decades of Zionist propaganda doesn't mean that words challenging your bias lose all meaning.
I went all the way to Tunisia on a school trip once 😛
"You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Read some books little kid."
Whatever your age is, you sure as hell don't act it.
