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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

If you hate Musk…stop using fucking twitter. Nothing grinds my gears more than all these leftists who are still fully addicted.
Especially when "just not using it" requires no effort and is literally one if the healthiest things you could do for yourself. Hard to sympathize with anyone grousing so hard while still mainlining the thing they're grousing about.
Addictions require effort to quit, regardless of what it is.
"I'm addicted to being an online asshole" is a tricky one for me to muster sympathy for in the cockles of my heart.
It may very well be that I'm not cut out for the role of cult deprogrammer.
Every time I said this, I get downvoted.
People on here get really weird about and start downvoting and insulting people who call it X, because they refuse to accept the stupid new name... What are you clinging on to? Twitter is DEAD.
Yes, the new name, X is stupid. It's now the Nazi platform X, accept that and stop using the Nazi platform. Your line in the sand is way further back than it should be, you can't keep using the platform and insist you're giving the finger to Elon by calling it Twitter.
Stop using Twitter, accept that Twitter is dead. Stop using the Nazi platform.
Twitter was always terrible and I've never had an account to quit, so the whole "Twitter is dead, call it X to respect the dead" argument doesn't work for me. I will how ever continue to deadname twitter so long as Musk continues to deadname his daughter.
I do care. Aunt ethel got used to twitter, she got used to facebook, she got used to messenger when they forced that switch... she can get used to signal/matrix/xmpp or whatever else you desire.
But it's the only place I get the daily recipes I want or some shit
To be fair…the site link is literally still Twitter.
No it's not... They kept the domain because it costs $8/year and it would be incredibly stupid to let it go, even for Elon.
But it forwards to x.com
Yet it’s still Twitter.
Is Nike still "Blue Ribbon Sports" because they hold the old domain? blueribbonsports.com
Do I get bonus cred for having never used it? I don't use X, or Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, whateverthefuck.
I have a Lemmy and Youtube... and before you get all "why not peertube???" because peertube sucks. Sorry, someone has to say it, it's not there yet, content is subpar.
Yea I have no clue why people still use the damn platform. Especially those who hate musk and what bullshit that comes from his mouth...like gtfo the platform, all you're doing is keeping his revenue going.
Because they fucking suck.
It just floors me the kind of excuses they come up with.
Same with leftists still buying Tesla. Which is still a fucking lot.
Honestly I figured his shit would tank, most of the magats are on trumps platform now, and we know magats weren't buying tesla cars...so who's buying and using his shit...the same people who hate him. Like wtf, they literally have the power to remove a ton of his wealth, but nope.
Tesla is a pretty clear example of what's 'wrong' with stocks as a capital/market correcting factor. The value of a stock is solely dependent on what people think it's worth, and meme stocks go uuuuuup!
Or better yet, if you're a government: stop using it yourself and destroy it for being unlawful.
“Why is the world this way?” says the blue checkmark Tweeter clutching their phone.
Though to be fair, many are more disingenuous cash farming influencers.
if any leftists is in the nazi platform, they aren't leftists.
I wish we could say that - but those terminally online leftist “influencers” like Kyle Kukinski are completely addicted to it.
Then he isn’t really a leftist. He is a grifter who uses left wing talking points.
I wouldn’t say he’s a grifter…he’s definitely got leftist credentials…but he’s also terminally online and really cares about “clout”.
I’m sure he would argue that he’s fighting fire with fire…and I agree with that to an extent: we need somebody operating in those spaces to provide an alternative. But he’s not just reposting content there…he’s genuinely addicted. If he were to be making a coherent argument to remain on Twitter…every single post he makes should include a tagline to a competing platform where you can read his entire post until he’s banned.
If you claim to be a journalist you don’t actually need to be on Twitter…you can just use an aggregator.
if you sit in a table with 9 Nazis, there are 10 nazis at the table.
My cats breath smells like cat food.
Dude quit trying to soften it. He's a Nazi enabler.
But where else can you toxically brow beat people who do not agree with you?
The thing is, quitting X is something people can actually do. The core tenet of leftism is to viciously attack any actual leftward action in favour of endless wanking about a glorious revolution that will make everything better for ever and ever. Anything that could produce actual results in the here and now and which doesn't involve a bloody civil war followed by mass executions must be wholeheartedly opposed.
…and it’s so easy.
There nothing more irritating than listen to Krystal Ball complain about how Elon ruined groups chats, or whatever she’s addicted to on Twitter…then immediately afterwards platform a leading leftist activist who also uses it.
