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.

Easily the best news I've heard since the Kirk-ening of 2025
He was killed by a nihilist groyper though.
Potato tomato. I'm focused more on the result
True. I would find it more fun if they all started getting faulty dick surgeries, and also take underwater trips down to ww1 era military shipwrecks. Also take up bee keeping and walking down New York city at 6 am alone.
A boy can dream 😂
You do realize that this and the killing of Kirk is great news for the far right movement?
No it isn't? Kirk was immediately turned into a joke and his 'friends' and even wife were profiteering so hard off it that even the magats could see through it. He was by far the most effective communicator the Nazis had, with him out of the way they have just less effective lunatics advocating for their evil.
And now he's a martyr who's been killed by the radical left terrorists who celebrate his murder.
I didn't know him before he was murdered (only knew his face of the memes, didn't know what he stood for) and I think the world is a better place without him. But if you advocate for and celebrate people being murdered in the streets, then you're just helping the far right narrative, and frankly it makes you not any better than them.
It makes me a lot better than them, and you are an idiot if you think it's equal in any way. And i literally just explained that no, he isn't a martyr, he's a joke among his own people.
Yes, that's probably why Turning Point membership is growing.
Maybe not equal, but rather worse than many on the far right (probably not all, I'll give you that). Murder is bad, full stop. I don't know why I'm wasting time explaining this...
Time will tell
