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.

Even give it away to starving families who lost their SNAP benefits during the shutdown.
But capitalists have to lie, çeat, & steal.
Cheat?
Tax evasion, market manipulation, monopolies... etc.
Sha-eat?
You got it right the first time.
Cha che chi cho chu = Ça çe çi ço çu.
English is such a shit language it changes “ea” to /ι/ in “cheat” /çιt/
You seem reasonably proficient at it. I think you introduce misspellings like this on purpose—given your history. It’s a bit psychotic if you ask me—given your history…….
Making fun a language isn't psychotic behavior, unless you have something you want to confess.
If anything, English is an imperial language forced down our throats after Amekos beat us in WWII. But given that you actually know history, you should know why Unicode relented on “ç” for /ch/.
Ironic how you love to mock specific groups and also call yourself “anti bully.” You and I both know you’ve got a long long history of trolling.
The fuck you on about?
Go to bed.
Are you going to pay me to go to bed?
What's the problem with "çeat"? Pretty obvious that it's pronounced "cheat". If you'd speak three languages or more, you'd be aware of that.Don't blame others for your eductional deficites.
French would like to disagree.
It's not not a cedille, actually. Or is it? I can't see the original post from the "Messages" menu.
I don't disagree, but I am blatantly Eigo no des.
Eigo hanaserun dattara, nande eigo hanasenai no?
Hokkaido dashite.
ðey do þings like ðis on purpose to troll. ðey hæve æ history of it.
In fact 10 minutes before my posting this comment they admitted to doing it to mock the English language. Ironic for a person who calls themselves an “Anti Bully”
Bullying the English language? That's a bit far fetched, IMO. Also, cry me a river, language hugger. How do you like zis? Haha! Vee can do even vorse zings to ze language you love zis much. Gunther, here, vill recite some literature for you in his native Saxon accent...
I’m sure you can go through their post history and see them criticizing the English language over and over. They just need someone to hate, and it is people who speak English.
It’s a strange hill to die on, but I guess they’re going to do it.
It’s weird that you are coming to their aid
A language can take a lot more than somebody making fun of it. Actually, jokes are language, often enough used in smart ways.
Do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
Languages are tools. Imperial tools can be made fun of. Is there a reason you are this bent on supporting a war crime language?
Japan sided with the Nazis, who spoke German, so I don’t know how insulted I am when you call English a war crime language.
Try harder. Be better.
And we reparated twice. The US has never reparated Indigenous folks. Their genocides continue.
Maybe criticize your conquerers harder before you tell me again who are the psychotic imperialists demanding we correct our use of a language.
If you didn’t put effort into being a troll, I wouldn’t mind language mistakes at all. But your English is just fine… you just want to troll people because of where they were born and what language they learned as a child.
That’s what’s wrong with you. You don’t care at all about the “indigenous folks,” I’m sure I can scroll through your history and not find a single mention. You just want to hate on people you think are “bad.”
Projection. Absolute projection.
Please cease your English bootlicking nonsense. I have other projects to attend to than to ego stroke a grammartist.
You’re the one projecting. You’re the one saying that people who were born “wrong” are bad.
You sound exactly like those people you hate.
Cite me where I said that word.
Do you think it is OK to hate people based on the language they speak?
collapsed inline media
Are you afraid to answer a direct question? That usually suggests that a person is afraid to defend their own beliefs.

I know the meaning. Answer the question. Or, are you scared?
Why would an imperialist grammarian instill more fear in me than the damages they cause?
You seem hung up on something I already ended.
Why do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
I am a lover, not an imperialist.
Please end your English imperialism.
Why do you think it is OK to hate a person based on the language they learned as a child?
Pwojectshahn. Absorute pwojectshahn.
Pwease asease yo Engrish bootricking nonsense. I have otha pwojects to ahtten to than to ego stwoke a gwammatist.
That's you. That's what you sound like. Assoe.

Sha-eat?
Clearly English is your third language.
How do you pronouns “C”?
/ka/?
Giving things away for free en masse costs money. And the farmers are already going bankrupt from this. Big Ag will buy up that land cheap, and then the subsidies will be announced. Just like last time.
Wow, capitalist propaganda in my response.
Did you even bother to read who actually paid for the beans on these farms through subsidies?
Let's be blatant, the farmers are worried about profit, not feeding the hungry.
I don't think you read what I wrote properly.
Money is theft.
No. Let the adults talk.
The “adults” in the room.
The existence of abuse of an item doesn't make the concept bad. That doesn't solve anything. It's fanciful distraction from an actual solution to the issue you claim to care about
Explain that solution.
