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.

Good thing all those "Genocide Joe" voters abstained from the election
Something bad could have happened to those Palestinians
Good job
Getting that Final Solution to the Palestinian genocide.
Do you realize that this kind of statement spits on solidarity with anyone but cynical centrists?
I don't know if you actually understand how much you isolate yourself.
Do you think this is going to make conservatives like you who hate palestinians?
Do you think this is going to make people more progressive in their politics than you like you?
Perhaps you believe you are the voice of some less vocal silent majority and those people will find solace in your words? (where I don't know)
For awhile maybe they will but you are on a quickly disappearing sandbar...
Honey, the thing is when you scream into the void like this with nothing but acidic cynicism, people begin to back away in disgust.
I didn't know Lemmy already had bots
this is your response? seriously?
Bad bot
Oh, quit pretending like you care. If you did, you would support the only party to have a elected as Palestinian-American, and you would listen to what she has to say. But instead of supporting her, you glazed for Trump.

The vote was 234-188.
Why don't we talk about the 212 Republicans that voted for her censure instead of the 22 democrats that joined them?
Why don't we talk about the 188 democrats that voted against censure?
What's your game plan? Weaken the Democrats so that the Republicans keep power in the majority?
Quit projecting your callousness onto others.
You first
and now it's about to get even fucking worse. it was a choice between kamala harris and fucking trump. Yeah, both suck. But one of them will actively make things way worse.
you think it's going to stop at Gaza? Guarantee, israel will destroy the west bank next. and trump will provide even more weapons than biden ever did.
i actually agree with you. the dems are worse than useless. they do literally nothing and field garbage candidates and wonder why they lose. we need a better party.
Congrats on electing Trump to turbogenocide
This comment exposes a significant lack of understanding of even the basics of the US election system.
In a 2-party system, a vote for one party makes the other party more likely to lose (depending on where you live etc).
A vote for a third-party is effectively not much different than spoiling your ballot. It says you're okay with sacrificing your vote to send a message, but you don't care which of the two parties wins. Either is fine for you.
Not voting is worse than voting third-party or spoiling your ballot. It sends the message that either of the 2 parties is fine for you. That's it.
So consider that if you think you sent a message against the Democrats with your vote. Because most people probably just sent the message that they don't care if Trump wins, and they don't care if Harris wins.
Why would any politician care about people who don't vote?
Historically, it's easier for them to campaign in swing states than to get non-voters to vote.
As well, not voting doesn't send a clear message. That might've been your message. 9,699,998 of the others might've just not voted for Harris because she's a woman. Who knows? Not the politicians, because they're not on Lemmy.
I'd rather support the Democrats than support Trump's victory, which, if you didn't vote, you have done. Congratulations on your "moral" victory.
What are "democrats coconut vibez"?
"democrats coconut vibez" are Republicans and people who couldn't be bothered to vote? Lol
Iconic name you’ve got there.
qed
careful dude, you’re on .world
Trump is already president again. That next paycheque isn't coming for you, lol
