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.

No, some people on Lemmy told me that Biden was a known bad, and Harris being a Democrat would be following the party lines, and so is also a known bad.
Trump hadn't waged war against Palestine, so he was an unknown. And an unknown is better than a known bad.
That is what multiple people on Lemmy told me.
I'm willing to bet that the Democrats don't even associate their loss with Israel one bit.
EDIT: Also, there's someone else in another reply to my comment who is saying Trump is better
I'm not saying he's better in general.
But, on this specific one thing he is better, and that is only because Biden is a blood soaked monster that didn't care about the genocide enough to make a single phone call.
Israel is a client state that is wholly dependant on free US weapons and money. Israel has received a third of ALL the cumulativw foreign aid that the US has given out over its lifetime.
Threatening to turn the free weapons and money spigot off is enough to compel Israel to do what the US wants. This is why Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush Jr. were able to that exact thing.
Biden chose not to end the genocide. Hamas has accepted this deal since February.
At any point in time Biden could have picked up the phone and ended this. He made the choice not to and is responsible for every dead refugee and dead IDF soldier since then.
There is nothing difficult about any of this moral calculus at all.
EDIT: and to be clear, I didn't think Trump would be better. I thought he would be as bad. But we have a temporary peace deal that we didn't before. Israel, the country that raped multiple Gazan hospital administrators to death, stopped bombing civilian refugees.
