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.

Where is Israel? Only Americans' lives are at risk.
Looking forward to the draft, that should be fun.
People think all the protests in the 60s were about the War, but they were really about the draft. Once the draft ended, and only volunteers were going (always plenty of morons who want to experience the "glory" of war), the protests slowed a lot.
Call for a draft, and watch the fireworks.
That's what you voted for guys!(The maga ones) Now wait for mid elections or something and go fight for your country.
The worst part is kids does and will die.
Don't forget the idiot leftists who think both sides are the same so didn't vote .
Harris got a >50% more votes in California than Trump, or over 3 million more.
If 3 million Californians who voted for Harris instead voted for 3rd party candidates, or stayed home, she still would have won California.
If 500 000 Texans who voted for Trump instead voted for Harris, she still would have lost Texas.
Over 4.8 million Texans voted for Harris, and she still lost that state.

The populate vote doesn't technically matter; but it still matters. Moreover, spreading the crap that the parties are the same, stressing that the dem candidate was just as bad on some issue, that her laugh was annoying - all that matters.
I like that she does laugh.
Correct, Republican and Republican-lite aren't the same, and if you're in a purple state, you might have to hold your nose while you vote, but not all states are purple, and even then some would still rather vote for something that allies more with their principles.
Israel doesn't have a useful idiot as leader.
trump is israels useful idiot.
Loosing terribly when not just bombing from a far.
