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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

talking down? this conversation came from the fact someone using the the word retard. i find the word disgusting to use, and insults people like my son. check yourself mate.
My problem was because you in your white savior complex decided to get offended on behalf of autistic people because someone said retard online. Did you just join the internet yesterday? Boo fucking hoo someone just said a mean word. Get over yourself, also I find it disgusting that you said "ok buddy" like im some sort of child.
This is not surprising since this entire conversation literally started with you dismissing the concerns of someone with autism over rising fascism. You claim to be the parent of someone with Autism yet somehow you are clearly not scared about the fascistic remarks regarding people with autism from the likes of RFK JR. Clearly you are more concerned with policing speech than real world issues. Because as a simple fact people with autism are under threat and if you do acturally have a child with autism then it would do them no good to pretend that threat doesn't exist.
white savior complex....what? I'm offended becuase i dont like the word as to how it relates to people with autisum, and my son who has it is why i take it personal. your getting words outta left field and making this into some game im playing. I don't see the USA as fascist. They are crazy, and RFK JR is a joke, but calling someone a retard becuase they dont agree with you is childish levels of conversation.
Once again you refuse to listen to someone with Autism and insist that the fascistic threat isn't real which furthmore discredits you being offended over the word retard. You have fundamentally demonstrated that you care significantly more about bad words than real bad policies. You are little more than a standard liberal and you fall into a perfect stereotype of a liberal parent of a child with autism who thinks that they're significantly more important than anyone else.
Therefore it is precisely because of liberals like you that fascism is taking power, liberals who refuse to take the threat seriously. In 1938 Liberals were talking about "peace in our time", today its "they may be crazy but we have to reach across the isle".
actually im not liberal, i actually have no political beliefs. i refuse to participate in this world politically anymore and when i vote, i put an emtpy ballot.
Like I said...
Wow eveyone look, its a smug centrist who cant even bother to do the absolute bear minimum yet still thinks they can look down on others for saying naughty words. Yes I aknowlage that the system is fundamentally corrupt yet still I went out today and voted for Mamdani. From my point of view my political participation doesn't start or end with voting.
look down? i don't look down on anyone, i just call out inappropriate behavior.
Being willfully ignorant is inappropriate.
ok
