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.

Just kick them out already, america can get fucked
Please keep us on the newsletter though so we can rejoin when the adults resume control
How are they going to do that when your democracy has had it's flesh picked off it's bones?
Well, I needn’t remind you who has the most heavily armed populace on Earth. It’s just a matter of us all making sure those of us that know better convince those that don’t yet see. There’s just a fuck of a lot of them…
That military is a damn good reason to reverse this now before it becomes a military dictatorship. It's easier to resist now, while the vestiges of the old system still exist than when it's entirely corrupted.
Your checks and balances have failed. You literary have someone taking a chainsaw to government. Your judiciary have declared your president immune, and your representatives are silent.
Waiting for the next election isn't an option.
Oh, for sure, the next election seems like an eternity at this point. I’m doing my part, and always have for the most part, and will continue. I’m not saying it is entirely hopeless, but my current best hope is that the rumors of the people of Atlantis going to space, or having advanced undersea dwellings, are true, and that they come back to rescue us.
Trust is gone. At least from my perspective as a Canadian
Oh I don't think we expect you guys to trust us at all for a long ass time.
When the adults come back we just want to make sure we can bring the rest of the country up to speed. It gonna take a long time and a lot of restructuring to build trust again
The United States as we have known it for all of our lifetimes is dead, adults will never steer that ship again. There are certain portions of it that may be reasonable and trustable allies again at some point. But the current form of my country will never return to reason. I genuinely hope you don’t think we’ll have free and fair national elections again
Can’t say I blame you! I lost trust in most of my fellow Americans long ago. But, some of us are decent.
My mom was from New Jersey. I have a lot of family there and only one cousin is MAGA. I know most Americans are ok but if this happened now it could happen again.
Oh, as long as we have gerrymandering, I guarantee that it will continue to happen again. That is why my wife and I had been on our way out of the country permanently for over a year. But, unfortunately, ran into some unexpected roadblocks for now.
not only gerrymandering but voter suppression, plus thier constant rigging never gets challenged, or even investigated.
For sure. And shitty ass candidates.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,"
Well, I had a chance to vote against it in my state this year. Unfortunately, I lost this one.
we're gonna have to join as a legally distinct new nation
i’m sure musk will give us our voting records in order for us to share with everyone during the vetting process.
