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.

I for one prefer full scale war than this.
SLAVA UKRAINI!
Let me guess, you aren't personally at risk of being kidnapped off the street and sent to the front lines as drone fodder.
I apologize, but I currently have no time to indulge in futile discussions with .ml russian bots.
Try with someone else, thanks.
We generally don’t want to defederate .ml, except when they post anything, or comment on anything, or vote on anything. It’s just those times that we think about it.
Based db0 not standing for tankies!
I'm not from .ml and I agree with their points.
It's easy for you to tell other people to go to war.
Other people are already going to war and more will until we don't delete fascists from the planet.
Those "other people" have to risk their lives while you sit on your computer.
They could really use your help. If they lose and you're not there, then you kind of just encouraged them to go to their deaths while you're completely safe.
Those other people are risking their lives because they were invaded by a foreign country.
Also I'm completely useless to them since I have never used a weapon.
Still, I would gladly go to war with all EU if needed, against Russia or whoever, just so the future generations can sit on their computers while dealing with online idiots like yourself.
Then what's stopping you from enlisting? You will encourage Ukrainians to die in war without you, but when it's the EU you'll decide to join?
I see you (obviously) skipped the part where I said that I'm completely useless.
Classic.
So you'd be completely useless to the EU as well?
Do you know that some of the people you're encouraging to die in war haven't used a weapon, either?
Yes and yes (although I haven't encouraged anyone).
It's funny how you all always scream for people dying on Ukraine's side, but don't even mention that on the other side the situation is even worse since no one there is fighting for their home or to protect their families and loved ones.
Makes me wonder if you are just ignorant, brainwashed or acting in bad faith.
Are you telling me that if your county was invaded you would just roll over and hope to not get hurt?
Ok, just making sure that your excuses aren't real excuses and when called out you move the goalposts.
I'm sure the Ukrainians are invigorated to fight because people like you are telling them to. 🙄
Sadly what i said isn't "Ukrainians have to fight" in my first comment.
I said the EU should go to war.
No you didn't, but we don't have to dwell on that.
The EU isn't likely to go to war over this, but more Ukrainians are likely to die until a peace deal is made.
What part of "full scale war" isn't clear to you?
I see, so when you are blatantly wrong we stop arguing. Got it.
Then what is your point about the EU? Read again my first comment and tell me how is it relevant in any way.
Ending hunger, war, poverty, diseases etc... are all extremely unlikely too, yet I see no reason I shouldn't prefer it to what we have today.
You're encouraging the Ukrainians to deny a peace deal because you would rather have the EU go to war with Russia. It's unlikely for that to happen, so you're encouraging Ukrainians to deny a peace deal for nothing.
You do this while having no skin in the game yourself.
There is no mention of Ukrainians, let alone any "encouragement" to do anything.
The article itself doesn't mention Ukrainians, but third parties pushing for a "peace" that is actually full submission to Russia.
I state, as a European, that I would prefer the risk of having my own country and the whole EU in the war, than forcing Ukraine to surrender to its invader.
These are my words explained as clearly as I can, so you can understand them better and stop twisting them more than you already did.
And to your false and hypocritical care about the lost lives, present and future, of the people of Ukraine I answer with a word and a quote:
Crimea.
Now that you have been proven blatantly wrong I guess that the discussion is over.
Right, and from the very beginning I said it was easy to say your words when you're not the one having to put yourself at risk.
It seems you're desperate to protect your ego and just argue instead of discuss. I understand if after all the nonsense you've said, you finally want to duck out.
Have a nice day.
I enlisted in the US military and I support Ukraine. I enjoy watching drone footage of Russians dying too. How does that make you feel?
It was not Ukraine's idea to go to war.
