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.

Further solidifying my previous statement.
Perhaps instead of hurling insults the second someone opposes you, have a constructive conversation? Lmao
"I turned Conservative because of a mean comment online"
What a self-own.
Why, so you can ignore it?
I didn’t ignore it, read it, gave it a +1 and moved on. I didn’t disagree with their comment so any input made by me would have be unnecessary.
Everyone has the right to their own opinion.
I turned conservative when every liberal became radically defensive over the smallest issues.
Good lord, that's such bullshit. If you agreed with what they said, then you wouldn't be out here still supporting the Cons. They even directly asked you a question, which you ignored. Stop lying.
Yeah, fucking human rights getting in the way of the important things like shooting muh little guns.
Conservatives are the absolute champions at bitching and complaining about non-issues. Go shoot your guns at some Bud Light, loser.
You’re out here calling me nuts yet I can feel the anger through your text, I will never understand why y’all preach acceptance then turn around and pull this.
Again I didn’t feel it necessary to add anymore input, I’m not forced to respond like how you aren’t forced to respond.
Fixed that for you.
While I support the gay, bi and trans folks the entire 2021 Liberal campaign was solely that, I would argue and say it was a non-issue before they brought attention to it.
Classic fake pearl-clutching nonsense. I have never preached accepting hateful ideologies.
Of course you're not forced to respond. Just don't pretend you're looking for "constructive conversation" when you are just going to ignore it (or far more likely, aren't capable of engaging in it).
Why am I not surprised that you turned it into a LARP fantasy. So fucking cringe.
Let's be clear -- you actively and publicly oppose them when you advocate to vote Conservative. PP is vocally anti-trans-rights.
Yeah, it was much easier to just keep them in the margins so you didn't have to think about them. That's certainly true.
Not surprising though, its a studied fact that right-leaning people are more self-centered on average.
