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.

Bro I love Ukrainians so much and the respect for you HEROES is astonishing, SKY HIGH LOVE YOU GUYS KEEP IT UP !!!
The SBU claims that 34 per cent (‼️‼️) of Russia's fleet of bombers, with a combined value of more than €6 billion, has been eliminated with this operation 'Spiderweb'. The figures cannot be independently confirmed because Russia and Ukraine are both silent on military losses for strategic reasons.
May the spiders crawl all over putin and eat him alive.
Do you also love Palestinians as much? Same fight?
Russia invaded Palestine too? Damn.
Wow, what a reply. Amazing. It's the same thing done by another country that we're cheering on. Why?
So amazing you had to reply to it twice, huh?
at the end of the day, it's rich vs the poors.
No, our great democratic ally did. That we're cheering on and arming and subsidizing en masse.
We aren't cheering on the death and destruction of children and civilians in Palestine with weapons we are supplying?
Well then better get me a straitjacket.
This post is about Ukraine. There's more than one war going on in the world.
What about people in Sudan? There's a war everywhere in the world and will be untill we die probably, offcourse I want democracy and freedom for everyone... Thats why Im commenting how proud I am of Ukranians for standing their grounds and showing this much strength!!!!
This is defeatist thinking. Mankind had, in all its thousands of years, never gone to the Moon, but then came 1969 and we did it. Everything's impossible until you actually do it. The past is useful data to extrapolate from, yes, but that doesn't mean that everything that went before is an immutable fact of existence for all time.
We don't lack the ability to end war, we only lack a plan.
Sure, why aren't we as proud of Palestinians? Why is one war mongering aggressor ze universal bad guy but the other one our great democratic ally?
They are not our ally and you are arguing a strawman.
2/10 ragebait
Why would you assume that they don't?
Pick your side, they're mutually exclusive! Only those who cheer on palestinian deaths can oppose the russian attack.
What a shit troll.
Insane that people would want Muslims to triumph over the Jews. It's between cutting off your head with two eyes vs cutting off your head with the one eye.
I don't want Hamas to conquer Israel but I would like the Palestinian people to stop getting genocided and/or ethnically cleansed. In other words, I would like for Israel and Palestine to reach a peace deal that allows BOTH of them to live in peace, along borders as close to the 1949 Green Line borders as possible (obviously a lot has changed since 1949 and some changes are unlikely to be ever willingly undone, but it should be possible to get close - certainly closer than they are now).
I also think that this is almost certainly going to be impossible as long as Netanyahu and Hamas are in charge. Palestinians need to get rid of Hamas and Israelis need to get rid of Netanyahu.
...wow.
It was a joke. Both sides has their catalysts. One is Hamas and the other is Netanyahu.
Circumcision vs Beheading. What a choice to have. Ironic that the Jews are on the other side of genocide. They're probably going "So this is what the Nazis felt like!"
