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.

Maybe stop killing people?
Are you implying Ukraine was wrong to pull off this attack?
Because that smells like Russian apologism.
They're saying Russia should stop killing Ukrainians. Nothing about this attack.
Well this attack is to make Russia realise they should stop killing Ukrainians?
Ukraine isn't doing it for fun, you know?
There were dozens of long range bomber destroyed. Bombers which have been dropping bombs on Ukraine, killing people.
So now there's less of that.
So... why the comment about "maybe stop killing people?" That's literally what Ukraine is trying to achieve with this.
Edit you downvote all you want Ruski bots
Dude, you misunderstood the first comment. Let it go and move on.
No, I didn't misunderstand it at all.
I'm clarifying it.
You don't understand how clever Russian disinfo is. That is a comment that should be read as "Hey, Russia, please stop and Ukraine won't have to keep doing this to you" but it can also be read as "War is always bad, so this too was bad".
The fact there's two options and this is a pro-Ukraine article means it needs clarification. Because Russian disinfo accounts rely on things like that to build credibility to their accounts. If you're not completely sure when checking an account, if it's a little messy to figure out who a person is for and who they're not for, you're more likely to give up. And then that account can continue.
Lemmy is fucking infested with Russians.
And if you think this is cynic or paranoid or whatever, I've a bridge to sell you
Mate, as much as I want to believe you and I think you are right in general terms, in this particular case it is a false positive I have not tagged this account and I've glanced the account and I didn't see anything that would be tankie like.
However yes lemmy is infested with Russian disinfo but this ain't it chief.
I'm definitely not implying the first account is pro-Russian. (I didn't even check the profile)
I'm just pointing out there's an alternative way to see it, and we should be mindful of the sort of language we use and the implications it has.
I don't think anyone would read it like the second one.
Ah well, if you trust everyone on the internet, dear stranger, then so do I.
Henceforth I shall never question anything. It's not like bad actors actually exist.
Why bother retaining any sort of suspicion towards anything? It'd just be a waste of energy. Well meaning people have never been taken advantage of as far as I remberer.
Thanks, wise old Colin
Stop insulting my mother!
Double-down harder, bro. The choir you're preaching to maybe didn't hear you.
Oh I do. Lemmy is filled with Russian bots, who the fuck cares about votes? Lol.
So it's a pacifist comment then?
Because either it realises this attack destroyed equipment thats used to kill people, thus leading to less killing (ie on the way to stopping killing) or it's a "Ukraine shouldn't be bombing Russia, everyone should just live in peace" which is just dogwhistling Russian propaganda as there's definitely not any actual Ukrainian pacifists here.
And they're the ones getting bombed. But you're just here for a snarky oneliners, you don't possess the capacity to argue it.
Run along kiddo
No one would be stupid enough to think that
And ofc no-one on the internet ever says things they don't mean.
Well, I guess if you didn’t mean it…
