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.

Oh boohoo, did someone who enthusiasticly supports capitalism play and loose? Good, welcome to the extreme shittiness of a global free market.
You know, sometimes it's really obvious when a person is a broke ass jealous loser.
Imagine being this stupid and thinking "I'm not stupid".
God you people are sadly obvious
That's pretty funny coming from the guy whose comment history is primarily room temperature IQ hot takes and telling people exasperated by your dimness to fuck off. It's sadly common to encounter stupid, angry people online, but your dedication to the art puts you at least five short buses ahead of your peers.
Yall ain't even smart enough to get it
ROFLMAO, I tell you wut.
Idiot.
Jealous of who?
People with more than 5 bucks
I have more than 5 bucks. I don't see anything wrong with being happy that is hurting the wealthy.
The idea that this is hurting the little guy more than the wealthy is clickbait nonsense.
Any sane person has their retirement diversified and uses index funds.
You sound like a wannabe day trader; a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
You sound like a whiny bitch.
You project all your emotions on to others.
Right, I'm the one chortling with glee at others misfortune. Loser.
Take that comment as an example. You're too stupid to follow the thread, too stupid to realize how stupid you sound, too ignorant to understand the loser is you.
But points for recognizing there is a loser in this thread. Next step is realizing you are them. Next step is keeping your stupid to yourself rather than removing everyone's doubt.
Now who's projecting?
Oh no! I've been discovered! 😭🥲 Please tell me how I can be cool and feel good about myself making fun of people on the internet?
