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.

What do you mean nothing to do? You're fully committed and supportive of the genocide and pervious genocides criminal wars too, you might not be funding as much as America, but you're fully complicit.
Queen Elizabeth was the devil, that racist cunt and her underlings have destroyed most of the global south for their benefit, the world hasn't recovered from the destruction your expansionist empire caused.
Just because Trump is literally worse than Charles today doesn't mean you're good. You pay taxes to a monarch who follows a line of monsters who are directly responsible for most of today's political landscape, and instead of overthrowing the monarchy when the evil witch died, you allowed an old fart to take over ruling you.
And now your monarch is treating Trump like a monarch, which sure looks like a pledge of fealty, so the only thing left to figure out is what motivated that? What does Trump have on Charles, or is Charles simply celebrating that Epstein is gone?
You're knee deep in this shit, bud.
The USA has been self governing nation for long enough for them to solve their own problems, especially as they have a staggering amount of wealth and security.
Quite a few ex-colonies have done rather well for themselves too, so "the destruction our expansionist empire caused" can be recovered from. One can only wonder why it's our fault some places haven't recovered yet.
I also wonder which destructive expansionist empire you're part of, Mr Pot.
Agreed. And the UK is complicit in its support of the genocide... How does holding the US accountable for its own actions free the United Kingdom from its own?
You fully support the US, your labor party has doubled down on fascism and genocide, and your king just treated Trump like royalty... What do you mean you have nothing to do with it?
Only an ignorant person who refuses to learn anything about the world would wonder... You divided our lands and installed foreigners as monarchs and taught them how to use propaganda to train our youth to celebrate the new puppet rulers as "independence".
Ha! I'm Palestinian! Always under the rule of expansionist empires, never done it ourselves. And everything we're suffering today can be tracked back to your Balfour.
Oh right, so we can add revisionist to that list.
What did I revise? Accuse me with clearly articulated words and refute the facts I presented, don't just throw an insult.
