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.

More and more, I'm seeing the Dems actually RESIST any effort to regain our nation from the treasonous MAGA Nazis. Who cares if Minneapolis or New York gets a Socialist mayor, at least they aren't literal Nazis, but the Dem leadership doesn't agree.
The Establishment Dems have made it very clear that they would prefer a MAGA in office than a Democratic Socialist. They now have one issue - Insider Trading. It's the only reason they stay in power; it certainly isn't because they believe in Democratic issues, they haven't advocated for those things since Obama, and even he was really weak.
It's all about corruption now, and the Dems are on board for it.
This is why I have been an Unaffiliated Independent since I first registered to vote in 1977. Both parties are corrupt, and I don't want to be part of either club.
What I find crazy is that in 2024 I was telling people if they vote 3rd party, they're basically just voting for trump. Fast forward to today, and I'm thinking maybe now is the time to vote for those 3rd party candidates. Voting for dems, even if they win, doesn't seem to be helping much. Biden was basically useless in doing the most important thing he had to do; secure our elections. Maybe the democratic party needs to just die. And while I say that, I'm fully aware that the country will only slip deeper into dictatorship and fascism if democrats lose to republicans, but maybe that just needs to happen. Maybe things need to get really fucking bad for people to actually wake up and realize that voting, protesting, doing all this docile shit... is just completely impotent and worthless. Look at Nepal, they picked up their torches and took their country back in just a few days!!!
