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.

That's the woke virus talking through you. How blind can people be?
" I don't have any valid claims to make or evidenced arguments to cite, so I'm just gonna say 'woke virus' a few times to dismiss everyone else's position. I'm so edgy and smart."
Check the picture i shared somewhere here. You blind bastard.
Imagine acting like white American citizens don't do things that horrible or so.much worse literally every fucking day. This is nothing but racist propaganda by a braindead parrot taught only enough to repeat the words his master trained him on. If that wasn't an illegal immigrant, you never would have heard her name unless you lived in that specific local community, because mental illness and human atrocities are everywhere and immigration has nothing to do with the incident.
Really, where? Be honest, we don't see that kind of news every day. Because it's not real. You just made that up.
There were 52.7 homicides every day in the US in 2023, most committed by US citizens. As a follower of true crime podcasts, I assure you, every week there's a new twisted, horrific murder straight out of a horror movie. Again, the vast majority of which are by US citizens. Pretending violence is an immigration issue an not a human issue is, at best, woefully ignorant, or worst, deliberately xenophobic and harmful.
Wow, now that's an argument. The woke virus... Are you a conspirationist?
The bastard even smiled after stabbing a girl. You know what nationality he is? People like you are the one enabling the crimes perpetuated by those people.
Yes let's bag all people from that country together because of one douchebag.
Where are you from, so that I can mark everyone from that country as racists?
You're the only one here who's saying that all people from that country do that.
no u
