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.

Are you even aware the horrors Trump has caused Cuba? USA has made a blockade so Cuba can't get any oil, and people are fucking dying because of it!!
And you say they should just soak it up?
Fuck USA for being inhumane psychopaths, who want to be in control of the entire world, no matter how much harm it causes others. And fuck people like you for blaming the victim.
Cuba never did anything to USA, and USA has undermined the Cuban economy for more than 60 years now!!
USA is committing crimes against humanity, and what they do to Cuba is only one of them.
I'm not seeing the logic in the argument that more harm in the future is okay because of some harm now. If you were against harm then you would want less of it, now and in the future.
You are babbling and not making any sense whatsoever, I have no way to put a fitting context onto whatever those words are supposed to mean?
What is the more harm? more harm than what? What are the harms in the now and in the future?
All we know for sure is that USA has brought a lot of harm to Cuba,and Cuba has brought zero harm to USA.
LMFAO
Yes because Cuba is such a big powerful country, and USA is very scared of them. Therefore USA has tried to kill Cuban leaders multiple times, manipulated global markets to immense harm to the Cuban economy, sanctioned Cuba for 60 years, and is now blockading oil to Cuba so even hospitals can't function, and people die.
And what is the crime Cuba did? Having free healthcare?
You may laugh, that's OK, it only shows what kind of person you are.
If it's so funny then you can easily provide us with a list of terrible harm Cuba has done to the US since Trump's been in office. I'll even give you back to his first presidency.
How has Cuba harmed the US since 2017? Be specific.
They continue to be militarily allied with the same sponsors of Venezuela and Iran, ironically those sponsors are the same countries that helped get Trump reelected, and once in history Cuba was used to field nuclear weapons aimed at the USA. Of course, that's got absolutely nothing to do with why Trump is bullying them. It's because they keep talking shit over the social media loudspeakers in order to divert US Military attention away from Iran at the cost of cuban lives and livelihoods.
I feel like you have a wall somewhere with lots of red yarn connecting photographs.
You heard it here, folks, the cold war is a conspiracy. China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea: all democracies. /sarcasm
I love when people make-up things I said, implied or believe.
If you think that's a wild take then you will be surprised to find a user replied to my comment before you certifying that they 100% actually believe that. It's called a "Tankie", supporters of autocratic regimes in Russia and China, and by extension their military allies Indonesia, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea. They have a huge presence on the fediverse because the developers of the Lemmy platform are Tankies themselves, which is why many users migrated to Piefed instances.
unironically everything you just said is correct.
You are brainwashed little redditor.
They're allies of people you don't like? How does that harm the US. That's what I asked.
Then you said none of the first part of your comment matters because the only reason is that they're talking shit. That's the reason for killing them? They're too mouthy for you? You're just as petty and small minded as Trump if that's the justification for defending him.
ALL PRAISE THE NUCLEAR FIRE! I WAS A FOOL, I TURNED AWAY AND CLOSED MY EYES, BUT THE FIRES SHINE THROUGH! EMBRACE THE LIGHT, BROTHERS AND SISTERS! /Sarcasm
