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.

Seems like the fediverse works fine 👍
Tiananmen Square massacre.
Winnie the Pooh.
All I see is ������� ������ ������ and ����� ��� ����
Interesting safety feature about the fedverse is that it will also protect your password.
For example, here is mine: �� �����
It looks fine to me.
Mine is hunter2
See? It works
Tap for spoiler
And I'm old af. I miss you bash.org!This is how I learn bash.org is no more...
Snapshots are still accessible on the Wayback machine, and I think a ton of snippets are available as an archive of text files too!
I'm bummed it's gone.
Mine is 1,2,3,4,5.
If you press Alt-F4 it lets you see account emails.
Good. Thanks for helping me test this. Don't worry about what I wrote, comrade.
Yeah, and we have like 0.07% of their reach.
You can fool some people some time, you can fool some people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.
Unfortunately, you don't have to fool all the people all the time, 99.93% of the people most of the time will do just fine. Shit, 51% is plenty enough.
Oh, they'll get around to shanking lemmy eventually. We should enjoy it while it lasts.
I ain't enjoying shit of this, I just consider it one of the last spaces of the free exchange of ideas and information left. I heard BlueSky is already on the chopping block. Like healthy cells surrounded by metastases, one by one they get consumed.
But maybe I wax too dramatic when I'm tired and drunk, and the morning is young as the old night dies. I can go on, et cetera, alas, and so forth. Hark. Would you render yonder and caress my Sony Trinitron screen of vint most fine? My cask thumps hollow!
We like to shit on Tik Tok, but you're right that their reach is absolutely massive. Recently when Democrats were writing op eds and taking out ads saying that troops should ignore illegal orders, a high ranking member of the military (I forget who) commented that the messaging was ineffective because troops almost universally get their "news" through Tik Tok.
Soldiers will obey orders. That's what they do.
My Lai, Abu Ghraib, Kent State, Bonus Army March.
Soldiers aren't trained to be moral philosophers, they're paid to do what they're told
Be all you're told to be.
One finger to swipe leaves a hand free for munching crayons.
Proving the point perfectly. They aren't paid to think. They're paid to follow orders.
When the time comes, they will not hesitate to fire upon US civilians, and those who do will be shot alongside them.
It does? I didn't see it can someone write it two or three more times just to be sure?
