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.

If Biden sets this precedent, everyone is going to be so fucking shocked when Republicans abuse it.
The ruling was essentially the US president can violate US and International law without being held accountable and it counts as "political policy" because they're the president.
trump could glass an entire country he doesn't like, and there'd be no way to hold any accountabile because we decided Joe Biden can do a genocide for some fucked up logic that Trump would do more.
This is the danger of the only standard being the letter by someone's name.
It’s not just the President, no matter hard you like to point the finger. The entire US government has been responsible for supporting Israel since Congress voted in favor of aid.
The problem the CCR is going to have, prosecuting as a US organization, is evidence of war crime. News reports and foreign court findings are inadmissible as evidence of crime in US court, and they clearly won’t have support from the State Department.
Because Americans are used to accountability, give me a fucking break
Yea, like the whole „war on terrorism” wasn’t just an excuse to go shoot some brown people just because profit.
I love how libs have to everyone about Trumps trial every 5 minutes as if accountability is real and he justice system is functional. Then blame all on the GOP judges.
But when Biden is complicit in literal Genocide it's 'nah fam who cares anw accountability isn't real the president can do whatever he wants"
I love how trumpers pretend to be leftists and whine about whatever can make Biden look bad enough to influence the election.
I mean, this has been the case for a while, it's good to get it in writing for when we have to name every rogue state
Republicans are already prepared to do more than abuse it. Haven’t you been paying attention?
