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.

"Your type"? What type is that? Chinese plant? And I "simp for billionaires"? Are you high? Lol, I have no idea what you're on about, but you don't seem to feel well, get better.
I didn't even criticize your going after China. That's fine, argue your point, convince me. What I criticized was a reflexive turn to calling people bots and plants as soon as they don't agree with your point. That is whiny, and comes from weakness. You won't change anyone's mind with that whiny garbage, you'll just get pats on the back from those who already agree with you. Going for those pats instead of actually arguing your point shows that you're weak, and not a good proponent of anti-chinese views. Grow up and read a little. This can be a platform for exchanging ideas and teaching/learning, instead of just attacking anyone who disagrees even slightly.
Yeah, I'm not wasting my time arguing with or trying to enlighten someone who is defending a fascist authoritarian regime when it's been shown China just pays trolls and manages bot farms to control the narrative and their image
After Tiannamen Square, Hong Kong, Taiwan, all the academic dishonesty, planting spies in global academic institutions, organ harvesting in Xin Jiang, and IP theft China does, there is 0% chance I'll believe China's opinion on anything. They had absolutely no credibility to begin with.
So you can sit there continuing to scream into the void at me because I really don't give a fuck what a fascist defender has to say.
P.s., my favorite part was when you disliked my ad hominems so much, you made your own thinking it would sway anyone to your side, like we were starting off with some healthy debate.
Not debating, and literally in one paragraph your argument fell apart into the same level of ad hominems - you must have been on the debate team in school, hey.
Well done, you sure told me buddy, good job! Not weak and pathetic at all.
Lol gottem! I'm crushed 😂
