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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Bro, that is what you fucking said word for word:
Which is the fucking same as "I don't enjoy hurting people but also don't care when I see them hurt"
Did you read what you said? It's so bad I expose how awful and diagusting it is by just repeating it to you. You're so oblivious to the hypocracy of what you stand for. Go ahead, read it again and live with it.
But I'm not seeing them hurt! Neither are you! You're seeing news reports and things that are spun to make you feel bad. You aren't over there right now witnessing it with your very eyes.
I bet you've never even witnessed real combat death or even so much as a violent car collision.
So again - stop, fucking, putting, words, into, my, mouth.
Is not the same as
It's simply not. You're adding the seeing part to the equation. Learn to read. Learn to understand.
I don't fucking watch TV. I don't ingest tiktok, or facebook, or fox, or cnn, or msnbc, or instagram, or much social media at all. I don't see it. I don't care about it. It doesn't show in my feeds. It doesn't affect my life.
And you know what? The same goes for you. There's a million atrocities going on in the world right now; you're ignorant to 99.9999% of them. And you don't want to know about them. Because you'd be so overloaded your head would spin.
The difference between me and you, is that I know that I don't know about them, and I prefer it that way. I don't need to fight for every single cause that passes in front of me.
