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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Worlds biggest fucking baby. They seriously voted in a fucking baby as president of the USA..
a 79 yo baby with dementia that had decades of drug abuse and on diapers.
Don't forget "Who famously raped and was party to the murder of other people's babies."
I don't know man, I currently got a baby and she seems rather reasonable in comparison. Sure she cries when she's hungry but so far she has only hungered for milk and not a nobel peace price. I'll let you know if things change.
To be a completely fair comparison, you should give your baby access to nuclear weapons.
Hey man, you can't hug with nuclear arms!
Twice. TWICE.
I can believe once, the second one was almost certainly stolen. There is just too much evidence and litteral coffesions to think otherwise.
Democrats nominated Kamala Harris. There's a reason she had to drop out of the primaries in 2020 before a single vote was cast. She was quite literally the worst option out of every Democrat option.
Stop parroting that lame Democratic excuse that the 2024 race was Fair & Square.
Trump has cheated at literally everything he's done in his entire life. It's why he's so profoundly ignorant - he paid or bullied other kids to do every bit of his homework, and learning absolutely nothing.
So we're supposed to believe that the one race that could keep him out of a lifetime prison sentence, was the one race he DIDN'T cheat in? Even when he had the open support and commitment from two foreign Oligarchs with massive hacking networks, and unlimited resources?
It's bad enough that MAGAs think we're that stupid, but it is absolutely INSULTING that the Dems believe we're that stupid. We should be infuriated at their lame excuse, invented to let them off the hook for their cowardice, weakness, and fecklessness.
So what would you like me to think of you if you think the person who couldn't get any support in 2020, who didn't participate in a 2024 primary, was suddenly nominated as a candidate for the general election is what was supposed to be a democracy?
Maybe, but Any Sane person on the planet could see Trump was far worse
No argument there, but any sane person should also see that genocide-lite is not a winning message.
trump is far worst, plus there were other issues that were playing against her, israeli and russian propaganda, musk rigging the machines, states choosing to end COUNTING early to make trump win.

And they knew him all too well. They saw his baby antics on television long before he started appearing on ballots.
Once would've been bad enough. They elected him twice (or allowed him to steal an election, effectively same thing if you accept it and don't fight it)
The first time was a terrible mistake, the second time was unforgivable. If you don't learn from your mistakes, there is no helping you. Fight the orange man-baby and his supporters, or there is no future for you.
3 times, and both elections were STOLEN with the help of the same actors, plus a new one for the recent election.
Not all of us, we feel truly hopeless at the moment and depressed
