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.

Infuriating.
US borrowers can't get their loans forgiven, but Biden's going to be Ukraine's personal Santa Claus for the next month and half, even though we've already allocated hundreds of billions to their war.
Yes, it's Biden that prevented student loan forgiveness.....are you fucking stupid?
You've only been on this platform for 2 weeks, and your entire post history is some of the worst takes I've seen. Good job.
You're gonna cut yourself with all that edge.
To own the libs right? That's what you think you are doing here? I'm sorry to have to inform you that you being here is a direct result of you poking your head out of your own echo chamber that loves to stir up controversy with Ignorant bullshit like this.
To voice the truth and counter propaganda.
Tell your friends how much of a true patriot you are for me.
So now it’s ignorant to just point out what powers are granted by the Higher Education Act? Or that Biden tried to limit forgiveness, or that he personally pushed legislation to not allow student loan forgiveness in bankruptcy?
Don’t you feel a little silly criticizing people for simply pointing out a politician’s record?
I suppose I would if that's what I was doing. I'm going to stop here now as I'm only beating an already dead horse with you....
The most 16 year old way to go about life, you arent accomplishing anything by constantly being wrong because no one is buying it.
Happy people don't do the things you do, maybe some self-reflection is due.
Y’all just lost to Trump. What’s the fierce centrism accomplishing?
Who is y'all? And who's a centrist? I am far from being a centrist.
This is what you call bad faith
This is completely fabricated.
I appreciate the moderation but I would much rather their statements stand for the idiotic ramblings that they are.
They don’t want to risk people looking up to verify what I’ve said, and finding out Biden’s been fucking with them more than they knew.
Dude this just isnt the way. Whether you like it or not a lot of people feel this way, and it permeates a lot of things. "Im suffering so why am i last?". I agree that these are two different issues but lets stop calling people stupid for not understanding.
Maybe the democrats should do less warmongering if they want people to tell them apart. This last election they got endorsed by the fucking Cheneys.
Imagine being president and being like 'oh well the senate parliamentarian (that my own party appointed) said no'
No
I kind of agree with calling people stupid. So much of the reasons people give for disliking what Biden has accomplished are straight up lack of awareness or misinformation. If someone makes a choice without awareness, possibly intentionally unaware, or is unable to break out of a misinformation rut, what do you call it?
I really don’t think most Republicans are as malicious, spiteful, racist, or corrupt as the high profile Republican leaders, nor that they intentionally vote for that: they’re just being stupid
The last few years of fact checking, reality checking, reasoned debate has gone nowhere. What do you call it when someone refuses to look outside their preexisting beliefs, regardless of how much proof? Maybe calling them in it will get their attention. Maybe stooping to their level is the only thing that will
Biden's forgiven the loans that he has the power to forgive. Judges and the House have blocked most of his loan forgiveness moves.
If we can allocate billions of dollars to Israel, we can certainly forgive some of Ukraine's loans.
True and true.
Apropos Santa Claus.
Every time the democrats are in power, the Americans need to suffer. Why? Because the republicans decided so about 40 years ago. It's called the two Santas strategy.

You must get angry a lot, not understanding how so much of the world works.
Nope, just old enough to have zero patience for self inflicted stupidity
Im with you
I feel like we've seen plenty of historical examples of how this all works by now, from Rumsfeld shaking Hussein's hand in 1983 when the US was going into debt to fund their war, and then throughout the 90's when we went further into debt to fund Clinton's "peacekeeping" actions (which actually were wars) and Bush I's wars, and then we got lied into war again by Bush II and spent trillions on that, tacking on further wars in Syria and elsewhere, but you all are content to ignore history because your preferred news network tells you to. Going off of history, it's only a matter of time before we find out we were lied to about Ukraine or the hundreds of billions we were kind enough to take out on credit in order to gift them was largely misused.
And as much as you care about democracy, you don't have any empathy whatsoever for the people that US Banks and the Pharma industry are at war with, our own citizens.
And yet we keep electing the people that let it happen. You can't blame capitalism alone. The citizenship is letting it happen. This most recent election is proof.
You should just stick to derby skating.
