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.

Why bother voting at all if you're going to do that? What does it accomplish any more than staying home?
As the parent of a queer daughter, hard disagree.
You make it clear to the democrats you won't tolerate them adopting right wing policies and genocide.
Democrats have turned against migrants and queer people too. I'm sorry to say this, but the world is unsafe for queer people everywhere, including me.
If Trump wins democrats would get off their asses and try to block him. Instead they're now totally on board with building a functionless border wall, for example. Remember when people called Trump insane for doing that. Now here we are.
Vote for whoever you like, keep your family safe. Perhaps I'm the exception, but I will never feel safe again, regardless of who wins, and I'm Canadian.
No one is free until everyone is free.
Why would it make it clear to them now when it didn't make it clear to them any other time Jill Stein ran for president? When she has less support this time than she has previously? That is absolutely illogical.
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Republicans want to put my daughter in a fucking camp. Democrats do not.
Uhuh. It's only a matter of time with the democrats. If they're fine with mass murder of middle easterners, they can easily do the same with white queer people.
Regardless, I'm not interested in having an argument with some internet rando. I'll not reply going forward.
Your "internet rando" prediction of "it's only a matter of time" with Democrats vs. what they Republicans literally say they are going to do.
Yeah, think I'll go with stopping what people actually say they're going to do to my child rather than endanger her like in your concept. You do what you like to your own children, if you have any.
