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's hilarious when they say this. "Sending money over there" is a literal catchphrase for Trumpers.
He's full of catchphrases like this. It's all he knows how to do, rile up his idiot fanbase, because that's what it is, (no politician should have a fanbase) and shift blame/dodge questions. And he is frighteningly good at it.
Say what? How is that even a catchphrase? I don't recall hearing anyone ever say that "catchphrase." Who told you "sending money over there" is somehow a protrump catchphrase?
Lemme help you. You are generalizing stereotypes, never a smart thing to do. I do agree about this:
I'm certainly no trumpster, and personally hate how he has turned the conservative party into the "trump party." I have some conservative leaning views as well as some more liberal views.
Don't be so ready to classify people and turn it into a "us vs them" issue. We should try not to stoke the flames of division, there is more than enough of that.
It's a talking point.. stay with me.. that turned into a "catchphrase" because it's used so much. It's not to be taken literally.
Still with me or?
You cannot have a debate with a Trumper without him/her saying "democrats send money over there" in one form or another.
If you don't fall into this category, congrats! This comment isn't about you!
But no, I will as divisive as I need to with Trumpers, they are a cancer on this society that is attempting to take root in the heart of our country yet again. They should be ridiculed and weeded out, forced back into the shadows where they can nurse their wounded egos and barely.masked bigotry in solitude.
Uhg, gross... your attitude (and opinions) is ignorant and contemptible. I'm guessing you're probably a teenager.
I've seen some of your other comments so I don't really take offense to any insult you might try to throw at me. And no. Based on your other comments I'd guess I'm at least a decade older than you.
Lol. Hmmm ok
You speak like an insolent child.
