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.

Kamala wouldn’t have started a war, and it’s pretty safe to assume she wouldn’t have done ANY of the additional kazillion crimes Trump has committed.
But sure. You go ahead and keep up the ruse that both sides are the same. I’ll ask though, that you take a look around and see that less and less people are buying that bullshit every day.
I'm not an American so what I see maybe different than what you see. But you know you would be lying if you say US would just allow iran to bomb tel aviv and sit watching. Both sides may not be same but both of em are held by balls by Israel.
I wouldn’t be lying because I don’t presume to know what would happen. You see, I’m one of those rare Americans that understand nuance- and how it actually works in the real world.
And through the use of this magical skill of nuance, I am able to understand, that the entire conflict with Iran, Israel, and Palestine is far more compacted than what a random blowhard on a podunk backwoods social media platform tries to assume.
There are more moving parts to this than you will ever understand. But that surely doesn’t stop you from trying to look like you know what you’re taking about, does it?
The point is- what we DO know, Harris wouldn’t be illegally deporting tens of thousands of people. She would t have abolished trans rights and gutted their healthcare. She wouldn’t have installed Elon and his good squad into America’s financial system. She wouldn’t have put a lunatic antivaxer in charge of our healthcare.
This we know. And I will debate this. However, to avoid coming off looking like people like you- I tend to avoid arguing about things I can’t know enough about to be certain.
Do better.
None of that is about intervening in the war. Do better.
ALL of it is relevant to my original point-which I’m not letting you distract from as you kids seem to love doing. And as long as I stick to the topic, everything you have to say will be irrelevant to it.
