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.

✅ Roaring 20s ✅ Pandemic ✅ Fascism on the rise around the world ✅ Multiple regional conflicts
Oh boy Ive seen this one before!
Only this time, the countries falling to fascism generally have nukes, so now there's ultimately no way to stop them.
And people don't want to listen and reject them en masse.
So evil is winning.
Yeah, people forget this anytime someone says "put them on trial for warcrimes!"
Like, if they were ever in a situation where they could be tried for warcrimes, boom goes the dynamite.
Honestly, I say bring it. I'm just waiting for the order to set Condition 1SQ. I'll do it, too. Maybe after we do a hard reset, we can do it differently, or let another species take over.
Brave talk. You’ll be shitting your pants like the rest of us. But if it makes you feel better to pretend like this, then go right ahead.
Yes my biological instinct to survive will jump straight to the front of the line when it happens.
But it doesn't change my mindset on this species needs to go. Just because that involves me changes nothing.
✅ Fresh new claims for Falklands Islands
The narrative converges
hopefully this time we wont need to ship our warplanes over there on makeshift carriers.
we have two shiny new ones now. one of which already has planes on
I don't like where this is going...
Relax, we still haven’t seen a ton of assassinations yet
Russia has been assassinating several a year for years, the Israelis and Saudis both have been killing journalists, and India is currently in trouble with NA for assasinating a Canadian and plotting assassination of an American.
Assassinations are very much happening
It was 4 or 5 assassinations planned in the US by India. They successfully assassinated a Sikh separatist in Canada, and they had others planned as well.
We were supposed to have a other summer of love 🤷🏽
