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.

In hindsight, I don't get all the fuss to release those Epstein files: all the names we thought were in there are in there, and the cultists won't believe/care any of it anyway.
What's this nonsense?
Why are multiple commenters now saying "who cares about the Epstein files?"
There's literally a cabal of child rapists running our society, and you people say "I don't get the fuss about records of their child rape."
I can only think of 2 things. Either these commenters are bad actors trying to convince regular people to be stupid, or they're genuinely stupid beyond comprehension.
I honestly don't know which is more likely at this stage. The internet has been infested with illogical-yet-popular dipshits ever since 4G made it easy for them to get online.
my guess is they're beaten down from so many years of this bullshit with no line in the sand ever being enough. so yeah, i get where they're coming from to be honest.
if jan 6 wasn't enough, if ICE raids (both terms) weren't enough, if the supreme court stacking wasn't enough, if the election fuckery wasn't enough, if the nominations to various positions wasn't enough (hegseth, patel, etc.). why in the world would you think the epstein files would make a difference?
honestly maybe you can help them out? give them hope that this will be the thing that makes a difference.
It's one thing for people to be willing to go along with all the bad politicking. It's just another entirely if Trump's participation in child rape is publicly proved. That's a REAL hard pill for most people to swallow.
If you waited 2 seconds before typing, you could've reached the third option: that I was half-joking. Think of it as a Tumblr post. I never said "who cares", and given the effort to hide and divert the attention from them is clear the Files are important and dangerous. But my point still stand: all the names we expected are in there (apart from surprise guests), and all the fans (the same who were raving about Hillary's pedo-ring) won't believe any of it.
So you were joking about pedophilia, fuck you
No I was not. At this point you're doing it on purpose, FU2 bye.
No! He's a minor! Now you are promoting it!!!
We can fight against it while making jokes. Jokes don't lighten the seriousness, they have since forever been a medium to criticize those in power.
