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.

You care or you don't care? but care to let the war end ? What are you saying really?
Why are you arguing here instead of packing your bags? You’re free to go to Russia to make the war end, I don’t understand what’s stopping you.
Why is it always people like you that will never set foot on the frontline that are saying stuff like this?
If you really want the war to end, when can you enroll to stop russia from starting WW3 ?
Why are you not stopping russia, if you want the war to end?
Why are you promoting WW3 by asking Ukraine to surrender to russia just like Czechoslovakia surrendering to Nazi Germany which lead to WW2.
Why are you trying to drag your country into WW3 ?
Why are you not **guaranteeing ** peace (with Nukes or NATO membership) to prevent russia from expanding territories into Ukraine again?
why are you promoting a forever war ? Why are you not at the front line to stop russia from starting the war again and again ?
Why do you want OTHER people to die while you sit comfortably on your sofa telling Ukraine to surrender so that Putin can start the next war and WW3. ?? Why don't you pack your bags? go to Russia to make peace and end the war, I don’t understand what’s stopping you?
Why do you say one thing but are free to do the opposite of what you say?
The solution is guaranteed sustainable peace. But you and your leader, Putin don’t want peace because it means compromise and it means that Zelensky, EU, NATO, Georgia, and Crimea also gets something (surprise, that’s how peace works!)
You’re free to go to Ukraine and help guarantee their protection and their territorial integrity, I don’t understand what’s stopping you. Why are you arguing here instead of packing your bags?
I’m free to do the opposite and I’m content that my country has made it clear that we will not send any troops to Ukraine
