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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Funny opinion from someone who is obsessed with only posting stuff against China.
I don't know if the source is worthy reading, but this user sure is not.
And yet the !world@lemmy.world mods have allowed this nonsense to go on for years now. Previously.
Is he getting paid for that?
It's funny people down voting but even the "propaganda" website they mention have a lot of non China content, but this guy is 100% foaming against China as if nothing else exists in the world. If that's not propaganda I don't know what is.
I'm not a fan of China, but there's much worse evil in the world right now like the US and Israel before his brainwashing can work.
That does not excuse left-wing propaganda though? Especially not of the imperialist kind
That's how you know they know what is propaganda /s
But yeah it's hilarious having them complain about sources. They'd be fine with it if it had something bad to say about China
Two things can both be bad. And even more shockingly, one bad thing can be worse than another.
Liberals keep saying “two things can both be bad,” as if it were some brilliant gotcha when it’s nothing but a thought-terminating cliché. Please stop embarrassing yourselves. Either make an actual argument or don’t comment.
When one how posts articles from https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/asiannews-it/ simply for being anti China, it's completely fair to call them out for having no leg to stand on when saying a news source should be ignored/banned.
@guismo@aussie.zone
I don't post 'against' anyone. These are excellent sources with highly reliable information. The world socialist website is not.
Mate one of those highly credible information sources you've used is
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/asiannews-it/
Don't remember that I used this source, must be long time ago.
But even so, that's everything you complain? Is there nothing more?
Would also be curious to learn what sources you deem reliable.
It's not the reliability of the sources. It's the obsession. Even the website you complain about have non Chinese content. But you are 100% constant anti China posts.
China does a lot of bad stuff. Every country does. But why do you obsess with them so much?
I would really like to know. Because with no explanation it either looks like you're being paid by an enemy of China like the US or that something bad happened to you and you need to seek help because you got some deep trauma.
I don't think Lemmy is big enough for the US to pay someone to do propaganda. So it looks really odd.
What an absurdly weird comment. I just tried to engage in some discussion, but this doesn't appear to lead anywhere.
Not at all surprising with the amount you throw out.

Just calling out propagandists as they show themselves.
The linked post is factual reporting.
I don't comment on your accusation.
And the post here is factually reporting dems voting to increase the military budget.
Yet you're critical of the reporting site here but okay when it's one your posting.
Do you see the hypocrisy???
Which is what happens every time it's brought up so 🤷
You never do. You just keep on keeping on.
Why won’t you tell us why you and/or your compatriots post? Is it a sense of patriotism? Is it money? Is it because you’re a sino-gusano?
Have you ever checked your post history? Did you ever even post anything that's not about China? And was any of those posts against?
China sucks, but if you are being honest you have some really twisted mind to not realise your obsession.
They never respond to these comments.
