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.

Why now? The election is so soon and this has been on going for years and years now.
Did they wait until a few months out to make it a news headline, to give them less time to replace their bot farms/traitor supply, I just can’t understand why only really seem to start in earnest now?
The FBI recently came into some hard evidence about Russia's interference actions.
They've been tripping over piles of evidence of foreign interference for decades, then shrugging and ignoring it.
The Russians, the Saudis, the Japanese, the Israelis, the French... everyone with a big enough sack of money can buy a slice of US media and use it to shove propaganda down the eye-holes of a gullible ad-deluged audience.
And that's before you get into the shit domestic businesses pull. When is the FBI going to investigate the Oil & Gas lobby for lying to us about Climate Change?
They’ve had hard evidence in the past. And everyone knows they’re doing it regardless.
Likewise this guy was publicly doing this shit on national Russian TV, anyone who had wanted to look into Russian propaganda in America would have easily been able to find this guy. They didn’t need the recent evidence for this.
Why didn't you arrest him, then?
Because I’m not a government?
What kinda response is that.
Oh, so you don't actually know what evidence they had "for years".
If you did know, you should have gone to the government.

You're embarrassing yourself now.
Is that comfy armchair?
More so than the stick up yours.
The stick up my armchair? Ok then
probably because this shit is complicated and they can't always choose the perfect time to charge people.
It's all part of the BIG CONSPIRACY that THEY don't want you to know about obvs.
I mean, this but unironically.
For fucks sake, can you stop going around trying to make everything a personal remark against me. You’re a mod in this community, act like it.
I was simply wanting to know what the reasoning could be, I even suggested some of what I was thinking and was hoping someone might be able to provide some genuine insight into the reasoning behind this timing. I cannot see why it didn’t make sense not to take this seriously years ago, so there must be a reason to only act a few months out.
Sarcastically criticizing things you say is not a personal attack. Also, I have no idea who you are.
I don't know who it is bc I blocked them before so all I'm seeing is "There is no record of this comment." It's beautiful.
He's the armchair spy/cop that knows everything.
