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 in the medieval textbooks it was a valid strategy....
But this is horrific and along the lines of torture. Genocide and death by forced starvation are disgusting, despicable things that should not be happening in this modern era.
Netanyahu... or however you spell his name... will go down in history next to Hitler, sadly, and the Biden administration supporting this genocide is on the wrong side of history.
Even with all this said, I'm probably still voting for Biden in 2024. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
FPTP is barely democratic. It leaves us with vote against who you want the least. 😕
Edit: English
For once, I’m glad I live in California, so I don’t have to actually vote for Biden this time (because everyone else will).
I'm glad I live in Utah where I will definitely (and defiantly) vote for Biden because nobody else in this baboons butt-red state has the decency or morals to do so.
Aha, another Utahn lemmy connesiur in the wild. I've tried to convince many to make the transition, dunno if a single one actually has.
You wouldn't have to convince me much to make a transition as far away from this state as possible. It's my #1 goal on my bucket list.
Eh, depends on priorities. Only place in the world that compares in powder quality even remotely is a very rural area in Japan. Let alone southern Utah. But yeah the politics outside SLC are gigafucked
I lived in California for two years and loved it, I didn't have a regular job but money was sort of in the air - I never lacked for it. And the coast (I lived in Santa Cruz) was stunning. I can't afford to move back, but that would be my #1 choice. I loved the laid back atmosphere and most of the people there.
Embracing medievalism to own the heretics.
With how bad Trump is, it's understandable. But make sure to vote pro palestinian candidates if there are any in primaries or on the ballot.
I think your choices for most of the Western world are limited to "Palestinians die" or "Palestinians die while some cretin talks about what losers they are for dying", unfortunately.
That's a bit extreme, there are plenty of reasonable voices, at least here on europe, although the pro genocide groups tend to stick together and have and outsize power for the votes they get, they're not all there is.
In the US you don't have much choice but, that's all the more reason to vote and suport pro palestinian candidates, if there are any in your area.
You don't have to go to medieval ages. It was legal to put certain ethnic groups in concentration camps only 80 years ago. Encouraged even....
Genocide Joe must be punished for his support of israel.
If you vote Biden this time it directly signals the Democrats that there is no line they are not allowed to cross.
