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.

We don't exclude them because of politics; like, because we don't like their policy on women's rights.
We exclude them because they belligerently attacked their neighbour and reject their neighbour's right to exist peacefully.
That's different. It's less "we don't like that kid so he can't play in our sandbox" and more "he attacked that other kid with a rock so he can't come over because he's a fucking criminal".
What about attacking Venezuelan boats supposedly carrying drugs?
What about Iran? So hypocritical lol. It's really the neighbor that did Russia in, attacking a country halfway around the world is totally fine. Because they are not white, pray to the wrong god and speak funny.
I'm so tired of everyone complaining about fascist MAGA. Complain more about fascist liberals.
Russia bad lol... hosts "soccer" world cup in the fucking fascist USA. Fucking priceless grumble grumble
Exactly. It would be simpler to just let all countries compete.
Huh which God do they pray to? As far as I know all the middle eastern pray to the same god as the crazy Americans.
So should Iran be banned from participating in sports? They've attacked multiple countries. Iran also rejects Israel's right to exist peacefully.
Why should Iran be banned they haven't invaded their neighbors nor have they been wantonly slaughtering women and children like Israel has.
They've fired missiles at pretty much every country in the region.
They provide direct support to Hamas which have actually engaged in the slaughtering women and children. This is the act that led to the Gaza war.
They have been slaughtering Iranian people as well.
When has Israel ever existed peacefully. I think at this point people would take that.
Then you should stop with the hatred which leads to villages in Israel being massacred. You've seen what that hatred has led to. It's obvious to anyone that Palestinians will not achieve anything through violence, do you want another Gaza war for the next generation of Palestinians? The result will be the same.
What is the end goal of promoting hatred of Israel? Do you want Iran to send another wave of Palestinians into the meat grinder so you can continue to perpetuate hatred?
