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.

Two bully countries fuelled by the stupid and ‘tough’ coordinate to carve up their lessers without inclusion.
Prediction that the USA will guarantee no NATO acceptance for Ukraine? lol.
Fuck you, Americans.
As an American, your 'fuck you' is totally justified, this is a third world county with the facade of a dream
(E) its called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it
Agreed. I live here and end up finding myself cursing this shithole every day I read the news. Fuck this place and half the people that live here.
Fuck two thirds of the people that live here. The third that voted for this anal fistula can eat my shit too. The third that didn't vote can see firsthand what apathy gets you
I find myself much angrier at the third that did not vote at all than the third that voted for Trump.
A tiny fraction of those that stayed at home could have saved the world. What else did they have on that day?
I mean, that was always the plan, going back to the '91 breakup of the USSR. We've seen the process repeated from Bulgaria to Poland to Hungary to the former Yugoslavian states. Rigged elections, media consolidation, de-liberalization, ethnic antagonism egged on by fascist revanchists, ethnic cleansing, foreign intervention, and then expropriation of anything of value.
Ukrainians had clung to their domestic socialist industrial capacity for too long, so we had a nice war to bust them up and saddle them with enormous debts. But now Zelensky's government has served its purpose. Western Ukraine's been partitioned out to the US oligarchs. Eastern Ukraine's been cleared out for a new Russian Lebensraum. All the young men have been press-ganged into abysmal, abusive unpaid jobs and all the young women have been swept up for export to the sweatshops and brothels.
Mission Accomplished.
Same shit we did in Iraq and Syria and the rest of the Levant. To Haiti and the Philippines and Argentina and Liberia, too. Same thing we've been trying to do to Cuba and Venezuela and Vietnam and Brazil and Mexico for the last 50 years.
Capitalism grinding away humanity in pursuit of profit. The only thing we failed to do was fully automatize the killing.
