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.

This comment is so coldhearted and monstrous that I barely know how to respond to this one. The shear ignorance and idiocy it takes to justify genocide is fucking chilling. I really hope you take a minute to take a step back and really think about what you just said.
You don't agree with these people's feelings on politics, ethics, and laws. Okay.
....therefore it is okay in your eyes that men, women, children, and babies be murdered, bombed, stripped naked, raped, executed, tortured, and eliminated....because you don't agree with them. Fucking yikes dude.
For someone that considers LGBTQ, gender-inclusivity, and women's rights important, your comment is beyond appalling and really speaks volumes about much depth and thought you really give beyond the face values of the things you support.
Delete your comment. Reevaluate what it means to be human being, and I really hope you never forget what you wrote here. Seriously. Let it sink in the depravity of what you just supported. I hope it haunts you for the rest of your life - at least then you might possibly become a better human being for it.
This is some "I'm 14 and this is deep" shit.
You can't "paradox of intolerance" this one as an argument to justify genocide you lunatic. Just because you heard something trendy in the Internet doesn't mean it applies in all situations. It's not a one-size-fits-all wrench to winning an argument - it just means you're lazy and refuse to do any sort of critical thinking. By your logic, you can justify the murder of your neighbor because you feel that they are "intolerant" and you don't agree with their political viewpoints.
Let's see if I got this right
We're violent and genocidal, so it's ok to eliminate people who are bad, unlike us, the violent genociders. It's also ok to eliminate the weak if you're strong, and you're fine with that because you're weak so you can't do anything about it.
Have you considered therapy?
It's meaningless but it is not worthless. Even yours, despite all of the horrendous, wannabe edgy shit you just posted. One day you will cringe about this, and you'll be a better person for it.
And how old are you?
You're so cool man. I don't know how you don't have a mountain of women at your feet. Cuz you're so cool.
Removed, rule 6, again. Ban extension.
