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.

It says a lot about you when you choose to cite the weakest Indiana Jones movie.
But hey your the one who’s plan is to wait for someone else to save you sooo… 🤷🏻
Dude, my plan is to let keyboard warriors make themselves look ridiculous between meetings and then have a couple beers after work.
The original post was about how the whole meal team six refrain of "the 2nd amendment will prevent tyranny" was also a lie, which you help prove with every post.
I'm not a huge war buff, but I think to have a successful revolution you'll probably need to have a friend first.
I don't think I've ever seen a revolution in which one buff guy managed to beat a military by having washboard abs and a closet full of rifles, and I doubt you'll be the first.
There should have been no organized uprising against Nazi Germany either, because you had to draft others against their will, in order to defend you. So none of us should be here.
Yep, collectivism for fascists, rugged individualism for those who seek to root them out.
Pairs nicely with all of the following American sentiments:
fuck you, I've got mine
pull the ladder up behind yourself
pull yourself up by your bootstraps
socialize the losses, privatize the profits
caveat emptor (let the buyer beware)
communism for the rich, laissez-faire, starvation capitalism for the poor
if you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
and on and on
If innocent people where not suffering from this, I would be straight up fine with the people who started this, voting in a leader that would send them to death camps.
