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.

Can we get the .ml crew in here to explain why this is actually good and freedom? Because I'm a little confused.
Why does ml crew defend modern day Russia? Modern day Russia is not a communist country. I’m confused why any communist would defend the USSR in general, especially after Stalin took power. Makes no damn sense to me.
Because they're supported, and 'west bad!!!'.
They support the hell out of chairman pooh as well, and he's one of the world's major billionaires according to the paradise papers.
USA bad -> Russia good
It's because tankies aren't communists, they're authoritarians.
Come on, .ml, tell us how the west has fallen and Russia is the last true bastion of civilization and people's rights. We're waiting.
found one
The nation starting wars and extracting fossil fuels is soooo concerned with the extinction of humanity.
I too am curious what this has to do with socialism and how it is not simply campist brain rot.
We're waitinggg...
We cannot.
At the most the only thing that can be said is that the article says "could" and a law is "proposed". That is already concerning but it is not reality yet at least.
I don't know enough about Russian law if this maybe just means the guy told another guy while taking a piss in a toilet or if there was an official meeting and tomorrow it is voted on.
this is why .world is full of mostly braindead folks who've never had to think for themselves, only what their master propagandists feed them
to be fair, i didn't have to respond, i did to bust your cocky egos. in what world do supporters of the American Empire think they're superiors to fanboys of the Russian state? isn't the repeal of Roe v wade even worse than whatever this Duma member is threatening?
I get why, from your interactions with .ml peers, you would immediately jump to the conclusion that any opposition to any country means that person is a turbofan of all its adversaries. That's actually a big part of what I am mocking here. Thank you for confirming it is so ingrained that you cannot conceive other people aren't like that.
You actually didn't respond really. At best you barfed a whatabautism and then assumed everybody is American.
Feel free to give a real answer if Duma allows you to.
Lmfao do you actually think you sound like the cool vanguard of the people here?
