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.

Nobody is silent about this what the fuck are you even talking about?
The amount I heard the word "genocide" was much higher in October 2024.
Well, you were supporting it back then. Now that you've come around to opposing genocide, you're no longer getting pushback.
Because there was a lot more genocide happening in October 2024. I mean hello? The war with Hezbollah and the North Gaza offensives were both in full swing then. Now we're in a temporary "pause" in the genocide*, so there are less people saying genocide.
*There's more genocide happening in the West Bank, but that has always gotten less reporting from Western media because it's not as flashy.
Now, sure. Not in Nov 2024 when everything suddently quieted down right after the election.
I think a lot of people are mistaking my comments as being "supportive of the Israeli government and/or genocide." They are not. Netahyahu and the people who enable him are huge pieces of shit. The practice of bulldozing to make way for "settlements" is fucking criminal, and that's been going on for about forever.
And that doesn't mean I support Hamas, either. They're also shit. There's war crimes all around here.
Not to mention Western nations playing fuck around with borders in the Middle East for 100+ years.
At the bottom of it all, to my view, the problem stems from Religious Group A and Religious Group B haintg each other because of religion, and claiming "rights" to land because of religion.
But I digress.
My comments were directed at the glaringly obvious use of a horrible situation to convince people to either vote for a fascist, or to withhold their vote for a non-fascist.
Uh... Nothing quieted down in Nov 2024. I was here in Nov 2024, arguing that Biden is the root of all evil, and the concentrations of people saying that Biden is or isn't the root of all evil didn't change much in November.
So was I. We've had different experiences, and that's fine.
