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.

If we expand to concentration camps, we can add at least USA, France (I guess all of Europe contracting with other countries to handle migrants) that I know off. And I think that Canada does not really care about its native people when they go missing, so we could add it to.
That comment kind of seems to distract from the genocides and that kind of minimizes them no?
The US is for sure trying to silently genocide a ton of people. We're several red flag alerts into the trans genocide, and the US is openly obsessed with white supremacy.
Canada has a very VERY rough history of indigenous treatment, but what's France's deal today? I can't say I know that one
I developped a bit for France, and also EU because we have one european border (more like Schengen which is slightly different than the EU) and frontex is a crime against humanity, with all the mediterranean drowned people.
It was not my intention. I wanted to add that we should stop at the early signs of horror, and add some shitty countries to the list too.
In the case of France, we have frontex as a member of the EU, and they published a nice little book for kids about their expulsion and how it is only a trip back :) or our CRA (Centre de rétention Administratif) which are nothing else that concentration camp, where you are locked up without judgement, doctors can't come in and you can spend years in worse conditions than our already bad prisons, before being deported back to "your country". And children gets in CRA too.
I wanted to emphase on these country have issue with human rights, but our white countries too.
We're rounding up non-whites and sending them to concentration camps to die. We have an entire organ of state devoted to ethnic cleansing. USAID cuts alone put our regime among the top fascists by bodycount.
I don't anyone looks better by being put in the same category as the US.
