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.

Nestle, Unilever, Mondelez, who else should i add to my boycott list?
Capitalism... All of it.
There isn't a single multinational that acts based on ethics or morality.
Depends if you view any larges co-ops as a multinational, or are they merely alliances? Not all capitalist, though.
I wouldn't consider worker coops to be capitalist, since by its very nature, it's "workers owning the means of production."
Well, that's Mondragon OK then. And the other sorts of co-op? I think the consumer co-ops may be the biggest.
Definitely better than a standard corporation, but since the workers aren't the owners, they can still be exploited at the end of the day. With worker coops, the workers democratically run the business that they spend most of their waking hours working at. With consumer coops, the consumers decide how the business is run (in an ideal scenario), but the workers don't get a say, or at least don't get more of a say than consumers, assuming the workers are also consumers.
hmmm... but at least they're being exploited for the benefit of the commonwealth not the capital! (whistles past the graveyard)
What about Arizona Ice Tea?
Basically every corporation at this point. Buy local when you can, even if you disagree with the local person's politics if your only alternative is a megacorp go with the local source.
They can be a shitty person, but they won't have the capital to invest in overseas slavery and election interference like mega corps
Johnson and Johnson
Be specific about your reasons for J&J or people may assume it’s a tylenol thing. Next thing you know there’s a red hat surgically attached to your head, your IQ matches your shoe size, and your cousin has become inexplicably sexually attractive.
True. Mainly because asbestos in baby powder is an acceptable ingredient apparently.
Not only that, but they knew about it at the same time that they were aggressively advertising to black and Hispanic women, telling them to powder their crotches, which caused a bunch of uterine cancer
I'm glad I only ever applied that shit on my feet while wafting the baby powder scent into my face.
I remember the good ol time when J&J was boycotted for the covid vaccine, how reasonable it would seem in contrast to what's happening nowadays
Monsanto would be a good addition.
I'm not in the US so this one is easy
German Bayer bought it after it was on thin ice due to the roundup lawsuits.
