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.

Tbf, I'd move to China permanently in a heartbeat, based on more than a decade of working there. If China ever lets foreigners buy property, I'll be first in line.
I wouldn't touch the US with a hundred foot pole, on the other hand.
accurate representation of an average lemmy.zip user.
That's nice. When I was a kid my dad worked in China, and they confiscated our passports, so we literally had to flee the country.
So there's also that side of the coin.
So like ICE, then?
My dad had a work visa for a company and when his contract was up they held his passport saying he was to continue working for the company.
So no. Not like ICE.
Also, we're talking about China, not how shit America is right now. Maybe try and stay on topic.
so did the company withhold the passport or the chinese government?
The company and government officials were involved from what my mom told me.
I'm not sure why you think your dad is the fucking topic to be honest.
Because you're pretending like China is some fucking paradise when they literally tried to keep my family from leaving the fucking country?
We had to hide in a shipping freighter to get out of the country. But sure, go ahead and move to China, citizen.
If you don't want people to respond to your room temperature take on something don't post it.
I don't believe you.
I literally could care less if you believe me or not. Because I know what we had to do to leave. So keep fetishizing these people. Maybe you'll get lucky and get to try it as well. May the odds be ever in your favor.
In this particular thread that you commented on, the subject was I deed his father and China,
No, it was not. He tried to make it about that, true.
Show me where it says "and now let's have a conversation about some wet who got scared because he went to China, that's the only thing that's relevant now?"
I don't mind the story about his poor, sad daddy, everyone gets to share an anecdote. But to suggest his father being pathetic is on-topic but US citizens being massively hypocritical is weak sauce.
I'm sure the US's ICE concentration camps are happy-fun-joy-camps, they probably even have Burger King for all I care, but that doesn't change the fact that you lot lost the moral high ground long ago, and one story about a wet who got scared doesn’t change that.
No, they were not put into concentration camps or shot dead.
