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.

As I said, I haven't seen an ounce of compassion from you for all the brown and queer people facing a genocide in the U.S. right now.
You couldn't even sum up a "I feel bad for them" after I pointed that out, so I guess that shows what and who you think should be ignored.
If you cared about queers and minorities, you would be demanding the opposition take popular positions in order to win, right?
I have literally had to flee the country with my gay daughter because of people like you, so don't give me any of that shit about me not caring when you still haven't been able to say anything about their suffering.
No, you theoretically have to flee because of the fascists that have taken power. The fascists are your enemy. I don't want them in power, I just recognize why they are now.
Theoretically? Again, I literally did it. On inauguration day.
You are not even reading my posts.
Also, in my eyes, there is no real difference between a fascist and someone who will stand uncaring as fascists oppress queer people.
You did flee. There aren't gay concentration camps and shit or executive orders targeting anyone just being gay (trans yes). Theoretically is on the 'need'
Do you know how many years it took from Hitler becoming chancellor to the Final Solution?
Seven.
Seven years.
Presumably you would have told any fleeing Jew or Roma or queer person when Hitler took power that the genocide was only theoretical, so they had no need to escape.
Quite the position of privilege you're in.
Says the person privileged enough to flee the country and also not be on the receiving end of a genocide. I am privileged, correct. Doesn't change the analysis.
It most certainly doesn't change my analysis that you have no compassion for queer and brown people facing a genocide since you still have expressed none for them, and now are implying that there isn't even a danger.
Oh we are absolutely doing 'the first solution', the 'Madagascar plan' for undocumented people right now. Ice is a modern day gestapo. We already are concentrating people in gitmo. I think concern for gay folk is a little overblown, right now. Trans people are obviously the next concern after migrants. These things are real and happening. It's fascist shit. I don't want this, I don't know why you're implying I don't care.
Because I've literally pointed out multiple times that you have shown no compassion for queer and brown people and what they are facing and you refuse to show any. Over and over, when given the opportunity, you showed that you could not give less of a shit about them.
Suddenly saying "I don't want this" is not compassion. This has nothing to do with what you want.
So I am doing more than implying you don't care. You've been given ample opportunity to show you care and have not taken it.
Do you care about Palestinians?
Yes. To the point that I have spent hours every week both trying my hardest to contact politicians on their behalf and finding Palestinians to talk to so that I can hear their problems and sympathize with them.
And you have just squandered yet another opportunity to show you care about queer or brown people. Even if you claimed you cared at this point, it's really obvious that you don't.
