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.

Wtf are you babbling about?
He said : "wish they had succeeded"...in reference to someone attempting to bomb a fucking religious building full of children. There was nothing else. No "hard to understand". It was purely violent shittiness. There's no framing or perspective that makes that suddenly okay. There's no logic there at all.
The guy wished children had died. And you're trying to defend him. So fuck you too.
Didn't the US just blow up a school with 160 kids in it? I don't want to see people die and shit, but this could have been a factor for this attack.
No one who says that it's okay to kill Innocents as revenge for the deaths of other Innocents, is worth listening. They are scum.
not a justification, just a possible partial explanation.
I thought we were still referencing GreenBeard @lemmy.ca there, might have been smart to not say "the guy" in my comment
You have every right to be angry, I am too
You need to learn how threads work. This was a top level comment I replied to. Whoever you're talking about is not even in this particular discussion
I know how threads work. I'm coming off a harsh week and my brain is foggy. You need to know when to concede and stop being contrarian.
Me too though. I get emotional and swear and people get scared and go back into their bubbles
Why is there not mass riots in many countries ffs
I'm not being contrarian, you walked into the wrong conversation and decided to scold me like some pretentious dickbag despite being the one in the wrong. Take your own unsolicited advice
If you see this as scolding then I am jealous of your youth
