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.
-
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.

'Murricans really love seeing brown people die, right?
Like to see White Dictators die, mostly. They're coming for Rodriguez.
You know, you should start with the big, orange one then. Maybe clean up your own home before getting on that high horse.
Americans have tried to kill Trump on several occasions. You can buy 8645 and 8647 T-Shirts, even. We hate that fucking guy.
Reality doesn't agree. How come he is your president, then? He (supposedly) got there legitimately.
Because external forces, including a group of billionaires as well as Russia and China, held enough social media campaigns to convince 9 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 to sit at home in 2024, resulting in the second Trump term. Since then, things have rapidly declined in the USA and Trump's support has dropped to new lows.
Oh, I see. Of course it was some external agent inflicting this on you. It was some evil cabal of foreigners! After all, how a country so intelligent and civilized could have done that to themselves?
Trump also believes there was no foreign interference in our elections.
Pot calling kettle back? The USA meddles in other countries' internal affairs for as long as it has existed. The USA has couped dozens of countries, destroyed dozens of others. I happen to live in a big country that is Venezuela's neighbor. Your warmongering will eventually try to destroy our democracy again, as you already has done in 1964. So, sorry if I don't feel bad for you, when you say your election was rigged.
I'm not talking about any of that, and for the record, I agree with you on each point. But the reality is that Russia and China have been waging information war on us, and it worked.
I'm not saying there aren't 77 Million racist stupid assholes in the USA, but for you to pretend Cambridge Analytica, to pretend TikTok, to pretend Tankies and other Psyops, don't exist really shows how low your credibility is.
Psyops exist, but they can only take root among stupid/disenfranchised/desperate people. Your contry is circling down the drain for decades, at least since Reagan. Own up to your mistakes collectively instead of blaming others. Clean up your own shit before assaulting other contries. Maybe, maybe if you fix your own country you suddenly may even see that there is no need or legitimacy to act as world police. Is it too much to ask?
