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.

well, he could cut off the supplies that are being sent to this pointless conflict and send em to Bibi. This solves both problems by removing both Ukraine and Palestine from the world as problems. A master plan that takes no real thought
eta: wow, I hope this hate keeps coming. Personal attacks on someone on your side is great
I really hope that was intended as sarcasm and that you simply omitted the /s
I mean it was sarcasm, but it also wasn't untrue.
Wow, civility or what??? I am behind both the Palestinians and the Ukrainians, just pointing out what i think is the OBVIOUS action he is going to take.
I hope you have a very wonderful day
Tbf the sarcasm in ur original comment was very easy to miss because some people really think that way
You see my name? It does have meaning, and i really don't care if they see it or not
Enjoy your day, I'm eating popcorn
From your reaction you clearly care lmao but sure enjoy ur metaphorical popcorn
Remember Poe's law.
I don’t think incivility deserves civility in return, but apparently you were being sarcastic? It’s hard to distinguish because people unironically say the same things you did.
I was being a little sarcastic in my first post, tho I do believe that is what is going to happen and I am not happy but have no power over your government. I was being civil in response as I didn't want to get into a "slap fight" and banned, you know that pesky rider under rule 5. I have so lost faith in the human race
Your mistake was not using the /s to indicate that.
Poe's law is a thing.
