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.

Empathy is not hatred. Lacking empathy is apathy. Why are you apathetic to the have-nots whose lives have been shattered just to paint a pretty picture for a 3-day event?
This is a failure of the govt and the admin to follow the law and provide alternative shelters for the people made homeless.
Do you prettify your house for guests by kicking out family members and stopping daily-wage family members from earning their living?
Some routes being blocked is not the same as shutting down the capital city of a country. Shutting down the city genuinely distresses people.
Neither Modi nor his bhakts care a jot for the people of India.
I don't think you have lived in Delhi or even visited the city. It's easy to quote from articles and btw it's called hate when you make comments like this when obviously you have not done any research on the matter and last line of your comments just proves my point.
I live in Delhi, the research I've done about this shutdown is from right outside my doorstep.. Do you know that all online deliveries, excluding medical, will be banned for the duration? that means gigworkers, whose families depend on their daily earnings, will lose out on their wages? and Delhi's eateries and restaurants will also be shutdown?
Why should any bhakt know? They only know modi-modi-modi.
We've seen how much Modi "cares" about Indians from his inactions on Manipur which is in a ethnic & communal genocial civll war since May 3. Kukis have been ethnically cleansed from Imphal Valley. Bhakts dont give a toss about that. They only know modi-modi-modi.
