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.

Not sure why I can see your comment despite blocking you. But to say that I must be wrong because a mod said so.. Those aren't the words of an adult human who can think for themselves. Seeing if this still posts despite the block.
Edit: Wow it posted. Must be a Voyager bug.
But imagine trying to convince people that you were proven right because you managed to find one other person who agreed with you! And they didn't even actually say they agreed with you.
Oh you're back. Theres not much more to say except that I wish you luck on your journey to human decency - if thats the path you decide to choose - as you think about the questions I asked that you were (not suprisingly) unable to answer.
You are spending a weird amount of time sticking up for people who rape and murder their own relatives.
Care to explain why it's so important to you to stick up for people who rape and murder a teenage girl?
We hold individuals accountable for their actions according to the rule of law. That applies to everyone including them.
It's easy to fall for reductive dualisms as youve presented.
I stand for upholding the rule of law and inalienable human rights and do not accept Nazi / genocidal rhetoric.
Feel free to criticize these specific people as everyone absolutely should. But if you're going to say a culture doesn't "deserve to exist" because you think it "spawned" them, you better be able to name that culture so we know where your true intentions lie.
Does the Nazi culture deserve to exist?
Nazism is not a culture, it's a political ideology that seeks to drag us back into the stone age.
No political ideology "deserves" to exist.
lol ok dude
"It's ok if I do it" what an asshole
