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.

Turns out that so far he was wrong and the facility is safe. He's lucky they let him go until that US journalist who just died in a Ukraine prison.
“Man is lucky to have been allowed to leave prison after being detained for free speech warning about the fears of nuclear disaster if the war and battles happen at the nuclear facility”
Reported, please keep discussion civil. I'm not a "dumbass tankie" I'm just stating the truth. So far the facility is fine and this person was released from prison. That stands in stark contrast to the US journalist who did make an accurate assessment of Ukraine's government and it cost him his life.
That sounds like saying "I was driving on the highway on the wrong side of the road and without seat belt and nothing happened to me. See? It was completely unnecessary to wear any seat belt and it was wrong to advocate for it!"
Source: Putin told me so I have to agree or he'll make me some polonium tea.
No, I think the source is the lack of any radiological issues? That's not something that can be hidden.
What is the logic here? A disaster has not yet occurred, therefore the danger doesn't exist?
In other news I am currently alive and can therefore never die.
The logic is that, so far, nothing happened. That's all I said. "So far he was wrong and the facility is safe." The larger point is that this story his treatment and I drew a parallel to Ukraine's treatment of a US journalist.
So I just want to hear you say it then:
"I believe that shelling near a nuclear reactor does not increase the risk of a nuclear disaster."
Go ahead, if you really think he was wrong, then that's the position you are committing to, so you should be able to simply say it.
