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.

Fonz is a long term Zionist that has been heavily defending israel committing Genocide for the last 8 months
Zionism has just become so unpopular that online Zionists now pretend they don't support the IDF but just "see the nuance'.
@Linkerbaan aah that makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I couldn't work out what on earth they were getting at.
Linkerbaan is lying. I've told him expressly several times on these boards that I am against the IDF. But of course none of that matters because this person can't engage with the topic either in good faith.
You have indeed several times expressed that sentiment in this comment section and then proceed to defend the actions of the IDF.
Hmm. Have I defended the IDF, or have I been critical of flimsy arguments which enable the IDF to commit more atrocities? Hmm. I wonder which one it is....
I've clarified my position to you multiple times, Linkerbaan. I'm pro Palestine- it's your rhetorical devices that cause more harm. Happy to explain if you don't understand.
You have clarified your position as a staunch defender of the IDF's actions very well the last 8 months and in this comment section.
At least be honest about your position.
Genocide denial is pretty pathetic.
Why are you lying? I've told you expressly many times I'm against the IDF. So now you have to lie? Says all I need to know about you guys. I find this very fascinating.
Hey @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world : Linkerbaan called me a Zionist, which I find extremely offensive, especially after I've repeatedly told him I'm pro-palestine. I just wanted to make the record clear here in case there's any confusion. I wonder what kind of warning Linkerbaan will get.
There is a flagging system. Use it. Don't whine. I shouldn't have to tell you this.
Very fascinating indeed. Tell me more about how israel is not committing Genocide.
