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.

(1) Why the hack you are putting your nose in this conflict? (2) Why are you defending somebody, who is calling other people „fucking morons“? (3) You make an active effort? What do you think how many people around you in different ages trying to make an effort at their best in their current situation? A poor person, living in the streets, causes less gas emission than you, so let‘s go and live on the streets. Or don’t you want to leave your comfort zone to really battle climate warming?
I don't engage at this level anymore, where people show no respect. Many people seem to be dealing with problems in their lives and are looking for an outlet to vent their frustration here. I let myself get caught up in that frustration for a brief moment, but this is silly and a waste of time. Nope, not with me.
I didn't expect Lemmy to reach this kind of chan-level behavior so quickly. I'm happy to continue a civil discussion, but otherwise I'll leave it here and delete my previous comment.
Go play the victim somewhere else please
False. Your first few sentences are insults, and the rest of your post is literally just this:
A point missing here is electing politicians who actively hinder development of renewables, which has an impact by magnitudes larger than all these individual decisions.
It's interesting to see how many ideological people there are on Lemmy, especially how they react when someone points out that their own behavior isn't necessarily any different. It doesn't leave me very optimistic about society's ability to improve.
Bye
What ideology?
Sir, this is a Wendy's
People can limit to make a tiny difference. People can accept that climate change is real and demand change from those who can make an impactful change (i.e. governments and huge corporations). The people OP is calling morons are those who are denying climate change, refuse to help, or engage in some kind of "gotcha" moment on social media with some bullshit take like, "Oh So yOu dOn'T pRoDucE aNy GhG ThEn I GuEsS? HmM, InTeReStIng!!!"
So please, stfu because not only do you produce carbon dioxide, you're also filling the internet with more stupid than it can handle.
The point isn't to have no impact on the environment because that's impossible, the only way to do that is to die. The point is to limit emissions at the highest impact areas which are all achieved at the policy level but just in case you feel like a needless ad hominem.
I bike to work, eat vegan for about 9/10 of my meals, drive a used electric when I have to, lend it out when I don't and live in a city that gets the majority of it's energy from renewables. I volunteer with habitat for humanity, I donate to local food banks and rewilding efforts. Have at it.
How do you want to achieve sainthood, when you're not even giving it 100%?!
Are you even trying?
A hypocrite loser like you shouldn't even be allowed to have an opinion let alone voice it!

"Yet you partake in it! Curious!"
Oh it's a troll account. What a blast from the past, those were all the rage back in 2009.
