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.

Just listen to yourself defending the death penalty for your favourite authoritarian government. I'm rolling around here. Hahahaha.
All governments are inherently authoritarian. There is no possible recognizable difference between what your Pedophile owners told you is 'authoritarian' and how your government functions.
That aside I'd rather no death penalty exist.
Unfortunately we live in a world wherein a quarter of the world population live under a nightmarish genocidal regime consisting of maybe 10,000 pedophiles that own and operate the totality of their society, and that society tends to attack any free society that tries to develop. I understand that as a member of said society you feel defensive about being owned by such people and look for any way to twist their propaganda to feel better about your place in the world.
But your government and those who own your government are genocidal pedophiles, and every day you don't fight for freedom is another day where you consent to their actions domestically and globally.
No, not all nations are like yours, you people in the western world ARE THE EXCEPTION.
I think you're mistaking me for someone Canadian or American or something.
I just don't like the death penalty and there isn't one where I live.
You keep defending that death penalty for drugs related crimes though because you don't want to criticise your favourite authoritarian government.
I'm out now o/
Well that narrows you down to a country that has had slavery within the last 150 years. So, good for you and your moral high horse while your country exploits (present tense) the global south and didn't offer such deference to those places your country colonized.
Absolutely false. Hilarious. To the very best of my knowledge my country has never attempted to colonise anywhere (edit: nor has it ever allowed slavery).
You keep digging that hilarious hole though. Grasp at those straws! Defend the death penalty for drugs offences! I'm sure your favourite authoritarian government loves you for it.
Definitely false information you're spewing here unless you think you're from a micronation and don't want to admit to the country that actually owns your nation.
Or, you know, a nation that was colonised.
Keep ignoring your death penalty for drugs offences cheering through any ridiculous argument you can drag out of your ass though. You're nailing it.
Edit: and I just want to add ... Blaming people for the sins of their forefathers is bullshit. So is the death penalty.
