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.

Russia will keep killing Ukrainians, so they need be forced to stop. Letting russia next it's neighbours is a fucking stupid take. Appeasing the colonial fascist has never gone well before, and it won't now. Ukrainians are fighting for their homes. Succeeding land like Crimea didn't stop russia from invading so it won't stop it again.
It's better to try something. What your idea is to do nothing. Great idea, let's just continue letting people die.
No, my idea isn't to "do nothing". It's to fund and support Ukrainian sovereignty lol. No clue where the fuck you are pulling that from. You want more people to die, let russia have it's way, way more people will die. I'm glad your comfortable with the thought of other countries just annexing territory on a whim. Fucking shit tier take
Oh sorry, your supporting Ukraine, so they can continue the killing. What a moronic route.
So just continue with the killing.
That's not doing anything differently.
Succeeding land will stop the war.
Make Russia sign a peace treaty with America and Ukraine for the land.
It's infinitely better than your idea of just continue the killing. "It's fine"
Brain-dead.
Nah, I'm supporting Ukraine to defend their sovereignty. The killing can stop, russia needs to fuck back off to russia
Ceeding the land to russia won't stop any war, at best it will put a temporary pause until they want more, causing more pain and suffering and death.
Make russia fuck back off to russia is the only viable option, unless you think appeasing fascist dictators is a good idea.
That is the only explanation as to why you said the things to say. Hey being self aware is step one. Maybe don't victim blame.
