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.

Antisemitism is not cool, guys.
Neither are Semites so we're even.
At what point do you ask yourself "are we the baddies?" Apparently full blown antisemitism isn't that point for you.
I'm unsure how you equate a pro-Palestinan march with anti-semitism when they are CLEARLY not the same thing.
I don't hate Jews or Israelis. I hate that Netanyahu has decided to murder over 30,000 people - mostly women and children - to divert attention away from his corruption trial.
I hate that nations around the world sit back and do nothing while thousands are killed to satiate his bloodlust.
And I hate it when people like yourself refuse to use critical thinking skills when looking at all the facts available, and see who's really responsible for this shit storm.
Was it right for Hamas to kidnap Israelis? No it wasn't. But that should never be an excuse for an elected leader, who's in an active court case on corruption charges, to murder 10's of thousands of women and children.
You think that point would be when you're bombing hospitals, murdering children, and torturing civilians.
But hey, we still have people defending Israel and calling everyone supporting Palestinians as antisemitic ¯\(ツ)/¯
At what point does a pro Palestinian March turn into antisemitism?
Because YOU don't agree doesn't mean it's antiemetic.
When they're protesting Canadian Jews in a city where there's an Israeli consulate they could be protesting, that's antisemitism.
This is also antisemitic. You're not talking about just Israel, you're expressing negative feelings about all Jews. You're antisemitic, plain and simple.
Protesting Israel's actions you imbicile
Yeah and instead of protesting at the Israeli consulate, they protested a hospital founded by Canadian Jews. Who's the imbecile? The people who see no distinction between Israelis and Canadian Jews, or people who rightly condemn this as antisemitism?
