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.

1st world people are pussies... Does that mean we can ban them now? They pay the devils and then protest them. Like the way these countries make terrorists and then make funds off of killing them. It's not beyond humans to make a legal business off these things.
Fr though it's the same essential problem for every subtopic... Drugs, sex ,business... Everything... They have this idea good and bad can be boiled down into simplified acts regardless of intention and emotion... Its such a childish thoughtless ideology. And it's not just Republicans, Democrats, labour or liberal, do they same thing when they jump on the sjw bandwagon.
Leading modern nations are fucked.
It doesn't even seem like law and order, the whole modern world feels like a crime and slave trade racket.

While I don’t disagree with you, I believe this is in the UK, so I’m not quite connecting the dots on the American tie in.
It's pretty much the same in any 1st world country. There's not a lot of people running the globe.
People think that's outlandish but look at Epstein's reach and he was basically a common bitch in the game.
Ironic, the person condemning America automatically assumes every article is about America... how American of you.
Edit: they've edited their comment to swap out "America" for "1st world", "leading mordern nations", and "the whole modern world" now. Lol I feel like that equivalency is even more ironic
The point still stands, lol. Thanks for the clarification though.
I think this is talking about the UK, not the US.
Maybe we could just require sites to label videos that contain various types of violent fetishs, and then give users a clear way to opt out. Or even make it opt in. That should reduce it from mainstream to more specialty content.
