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.

Yes, it does suck. Problem is human society. “The right” represents corporate interest, and the left should represent the people's interests, but too often the left just represents an extractive clientislist state. Whatever you call them, systems reward themselves. It's why I'm pessimistic about government.
But the thing is all the assholes thinking they're so smart because they'd never vote for a right-candidate and that everyone in those countries are so stupid for voting for right candidates, all the people downvoting my comment, are just an example of the globality of stupidity.
So it's not looking good for the human race.
Because they are stupid for voting for a right wing candidate. He's going to turn on them immediately and destroy their livelihoods because that's what they do. That's all the right wing ever does and has ever done. They're not here to help you. They're here to help themselves, usually to the fruits of your labour. And then the call us thieves for demanding our cut of the wealth back. The right wing is just organized crime with better PR, that's all they've ever been and that's all they'll ever be. Oh they'll dress it up in a song and dance about some nostalgic nonsense or another, it's all a spectacle to keep you distracted while they pick your pocket. "Oh we're the party of law and order" bullshit. They'll complain about crime, loudly and for hours to anyone who will listen, but their "solutions" are usually just more ways to profiteer off of it while pretending their useless gestures are "Doing something."
At least they're more honest about it than the damned centrists, but given the choice of being stabbed in the back or in the face, I'd say I'd rather not be stabbed at all.
