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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Yeah, Iranian leaders and soldiers are human bags of shit and it is Congress' sole responsibility to use as much force as they deem necessary for a better future.
Therefore it's okay to bomb or kill civilians?
First of all, the fuck does that have to do with crimes that Trump did?
Secondly, there are fights I would be willing to fight on the frontline, such as fighting against Russia or China. Every inch we let them take now is a mile we have to defend later.
Idk how else you take it as approval to kill civilians like what happened in Iran.
Oh so you do want to go join soliders to kill civilians
Was this Iran attack you're referencing an approved act of war by congress? If yes, that's fine, if not, that was illegal. It's not rocket science, you should be able to figure this out.
Soldiers and Politicians are not Civilians. If China, Russia, and Iranian aggression sparks a war then they're as much to blame for the consequences. Fuck Around, Find Out.
So yes if the paper work is in order you don't care who is killed.
How can you not see that?
Unless it's the US at the approval of congress according to you.
Again stop the bullshit and admit that you are fine with the actions of trump just not how he does them
You know, it's really annoying that you can just claim the opponent holds a stance even when they specifically deny the allegation.
For example, I hear that you enjoy feeding babies to wolves in ritualistic sacrifice. Why do you do this?
Yes quoting you claiming the opposite of what you send.
And I it's you being rhetorical but would. It be surprised if you were feeding babies to wolves to help dnc
I've never contradicted what I said, you repeatedly claim I would condone violence done to civilians when I've repeatedly specifiec soldiers and politicians of the hostile regimes.
See? Look, right there, you're belittling me for not sacrificing babies like you do. Why do you do this thing? Who are you praying to with these infanticides?
if the attack was legal then it's okay.
Amazingly terrible reading comprehension as usual
Why wolves specifically?
Probably because you think Trump is the wolf in the hen house rather than think that it's always how the president has acted, just usually with an actual PR team
So the wolves you kill children for represent Putin? Would you sacrifice babies to some other animal in the absence of wolves? Would a bear not make more sense?
