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 is what our so free democratic leaders choose for us.
We'll decide what 'news' to consume and what opinion you can have or express.
And then you have the bots, opreatives or bootlickers encouraging banning to protect the regime echo chamber.
It is surprisingly 'normal' here. Even if I got banned from horrible lemm.ee and some of my comments removed (while others made much worse about me and are still there since they The fediverse is still too small so unimportant.
When it explodes like Reddit did it will get their own Jessica Ashoosh and consequent mass (ghost)banning, Eglin airforce base operatives and bots.
Until then you people will have to deal with the truth and listen to opinions they don't like.
They can always block me or go cry in a corner somewhere.
As long as they're not extremely boring like most uneducated, unimaginative drones with their: Russian propaganda, Rubels, Xi bucks, 100+ social credits....
I have to block those, there is no satisfaction in ridiculing them since they are too stupid to see how they humiliate themselves.
The rest I enjoy tremendously, watching them seethe when they lose an argument and their little mask falls of revieling that behind the mask of imagined pseudo-moral superiority hides a little nasty fascist doing nothing more than gruntwork for the evil imperialist US regime. That is all. Death to America!!!
I am out now (time for bloody Mary's)
Wait, lemmy has elections? We have leaders?
Wait, lemmy is "news"?
I mean that is quite the statement, I take offence about the part where you apparently win any argument.
I honestly can't say if you're deliberately playing dumb or not, seen the amount of absolute imbeciles and idiotic takes.
"seeing" and "imbecilic" an odd mistake to make if you are not playing dumb.
