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.

I was VERY critical of Biden, before the debate, before the backing of Palestinian genocide. So i was very happy he stepped down, and am content with Kamala Harris. Russia can try all they want. There is nothing they could do to dissuade me at this point.
They could dissuade you before? You probably shouldn't be listening to the Russians regardless of who the nominee is...
Biden was providing the reasons to not vote for him all by himself, he didn’t need any help from the Russians. But its not a worry now so what ever.
Deliberately taking the most negative misinterpretation of what was said. It almost feels like Reddit again.
The Palestine thing unravelled my image of that man completely. I don’t have a vote or anything but he does claim to be “Irish” which grates on us no end over here, where most people are anti-genocide.
I'm skeptical as fuck that you are a real live irish 😑 anyone who is a real Irish American knows the only people who can point to Ireland on the map died in the potato famine. Awfully shady a real live Irish Irishman doesn't know THAT about being irish😑😑😑 /s
But foreal I kid. Not even bashing Biden or anyone otherwise but I instantly assume someone's dumb as fuck if they advertise where there their great great gramps used to fuck while they're 3-4 generations deep in fuckin Jersey or something.
The only reason I commented tho is to ask, what are your opinions whe you catch random Americans giving you a good ole' nationality hickey?
I mean everywhere you look you can get ancestry history test but I have yet to see a single one at st. Patties day parade, Dingus day, Cinco de mayo, boxing day. If I never have the proof of purchase of where I come from, can I just make shit up? or is that too anti-cultural mis-inappropriation nowadays?
