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.

Where did I say that? I said that minority didn't own slaves.
Again, answer my question, do you think that you have enough support to repeal the 2nd amendment?
Dude you're so white and the ivory tower you sit in requires welding goggles to look at it... wanting to ban guns and put in gun control measures is a mainly white thing...and it only pops up when there is a mass shooting... you're white.
Ah, so your evidence that I'm white is that you think what I say is something only white people say?
Sounds pretty racist.
I don't think I'm going to indulge a racist by answering their questions.
By the way...
This is a lie. I do not want to ban guns. I have absolutely no problem with most people who own guns or wish to buy them in the future.
You are a liar who makes racist statements.
Shame on you.
Yeah ok buddy, keep up that white privilege...this entire thread is because you think their is enough support to repeal the 2nd...gun control is racist. I'm not the one wanting to disarm minorities. You are.
No, this entire thread is because you said "So you’re plan is to try and tackle something that’s written into the constitution… that’s your goal?" and I pointed out that slavery was an example of tackling something that's written into the Constitution. Then you said that everyone agreed that slavery was wrong and that a war was fought against it in the same post, which, as I have pointed out repeatedly, is a contradiction.
I never said anything about having enough support to repeal the second amendment. That is a lie.
This is another lie. I have no interest in disarming minorities. In fact, any new gun regulations I would support would only apply to new gun sales.
That is three lies now.
Please stop lying. You have absolutely no reason to lie.
