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.
-
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.

I’m voting party for Socialism and Liberation in November and you can too.
They’re running on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to arms shipments to Israel.
No word on their position with regard to Israel’s war with Lebanon, but I’m confident it’s one that I’ll support.
If it didn't have negative repercussions for others I would encourage you and then laugh in your face when Trump wins.
But since it does have repercussions for others:
Please don't actually do that. I know that your voting system is unsatisfying and I know that you don't want to participate in it anymore. I know that the large parties are profitting from it disproportionately and people are forced to vote for people that they don't really want in power, just to stop someone else.
I understand all that. But please also understand that the stakes of these Elections could be the highest stakes of any election during your lifetime.
I understand that this is unsatisfying and undesirable. But please, like often said, "don't waste your vote". I just want to give you a small annectote: Pacifists are always noble. They always deserve to be praised. But that doesn't mean that they're always doing the right thing. Hitler was very fond of french, russian and US-American pacifists.
I don't think that you're a fascist. But I do know that you're doing exactly what the fascists want you to do.
Sorry for the late response. Disasters happen!
I will not vote for the democrats and no argument will convince me.
I do want to participate in the electoral system and am not forced to vote for people or parties I have no interest in.
You aren’t going to convince anyone with the most important election rhetoric. If a person isn’t already saying it along with you then they’ll be driven away by those words.
I’m not throwing away my vote. It’ll be counted just like all the others. I know this from being involved in the process of elections.
I’m not concerned with what the fascist want.
If the democrats want my vote they can adopt a platform I support, actively pursue it to some real material ends and maybe I’ll cast a ballot for them in two years or four years.
As someone from Switzerland, whose continent has suffered under fascism:
I will pray for you and your country. I will pray that fascism may not ravage and rape your country and society like it did with ours
