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.

God damn, what a stupid thing to say
Somewhere on the Main page right now someone's stills screaming about Genocide Joe! Like you are brainwashed heathens. Lend me those down votes they can't amount to the death you've caused by your "activism". If you gave a fuck about an African genocide you'd be allowing refugees to come in. You people don't give a fuck about anything but internet up-doots and virtue signaling. America always took in African refugees during these times. I got large populations down the road. Great people. Now they are doomed to die and suffer because Genocide Joe am I rite gang?
Your cross heavy enough?
Ya to be honest, there's a damn genocide in Sudan and my country cut food aid for not fucking reason and started kicking out refugees instead of accepting them. It makes the suffering in my own community seem inconsequential. It's probably hard to conceive if you're incapable of nuance.
Like I don't recall the nazi's having a group of people that ran around trying to defend the Jews while also making their lives infinitely worse. You guys made yourself a special place in genocide history. I'm not letting that shit go. Like I've never seen a group of people come together to support a cause and fuck it up so bad. It's truly worth a chapter in the old history books.... if they have those in 10 years.
Again talking out your ass. You have no idea who I am or what I stand for. The special place in genocide history is for those enabling the genocide, democrats, republicans, the Israelis, the Russians, some Sudanese. Get off your high horse.
Na look how mad y'all are. I gotta troll you ever chance I get because you fucked my american empire to death with your virtue signaling and now Palestine is smoldering and when its done burning it will be a nice TRUMP resort.
Morons.
Imagine talking out your ass so much, you literally have no idea about who I am, or where I live. Talk about moronic.
