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.

People forget to question the validity of the entire story. This to me is a song and dance. Privatization of militaries has been the course and IMO this is just a PR hegemonic, brand dropping, advertisement to get people, more specifically europeans to invest in their own oppression. Dish satellite for cable and internet worked just fine for rural people, but now people are being pushed into a monopoly, and into white supremacy. When white men have "feels" about not getting what they think they are due, that's no-brainer, propaganda 100% of the time. Slow down and zoom out. FFS. And stop using Mr. Salutes products. And those who aren't questioning the validity of the Gaurdian, haven't been paying attention to their title slop coverage of Gaza. Know thy enemy, and know what can and can't be trusted, before you give it. Respect and trust must be EARNED.
It is NOT starlink that is being taken out by Iran, and messing up America's ability to launch projectiles at Iran, it's old radar infrastructure. And the only thing being used effectively, until a bot farm and oil has been targeted by ukr, was self-isolated fiber-optics/close loop drones. If you want to be entertained, then by all means don't look at the mockingbird project or how Elon is being a good little front man for the prevention of socialized, especially green, infrastructure and shielding the actual powerful oligarchs from retaliation.
People literally just watching nepos and actors everywhere get pushed into "mattering" but can't seem to apply KNOWN tactics to our current reality.
People should question the news they read more. Everything you said after that is unintelligible
You're jumping from topic to topic far too quickly, using odd descriptors for things. Really comes off as someone slipping into mental illness
