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.

Every day I see a new headline and think, it's almost like this guy is trying to instigate WWIII by any means necessary because he wants to kill us all.
You know how these fascists are obsessed with patriarchy and authoritarianism? Sometimes narcissists commit familicide before they off themselves.
I have Trump pegged as the anomic type. Possibly disappointed.
Yup. The NPD family annihilator Anthony Todt pulled the same stunt but he was too chicken to fuck himself so he ended up at trial for the murder of his wife, and his three kids.
But the kicker was his testimony during. It's the most narcissistic display I've ever seen. He tried to pin it all on his wife and her, get this, "lyme disease". I know, wtf, as if that causes you to go on a murder spree on your family.
He was literally caught red handed with their putrified corpses still in the house.
He wants a war, so he can have a draft, and take control of the most dangerous demographic group - military age men, who also share the characteristic that they are easy to manipulate through propaganda, which is easier to control in a military setting.
If you can gain control of their brains as they turn 18, you can preserve those who take to the propaganda, and send those with decent Critical Thinking Skills to the front line.
But what's the end game? He and Putin (along with several other of the world's richest and most dangerous psychopaths) are reaching an age where their end of days due to natural causes is rapidly approaching.
However, if they were to die tomorrow, they risk leaving their "legacy" and the history that will be written about them, to a planet that would have been better off if they never existed. What is the only way they can ensure that doesn't happen?
I think the End is the endgame for a lot of these rich asshats. They fly in private jets and eat with gold forks while alive, who cares about anyone or anything else after that’s done.
Exactly. The Endgame is them living bigger than a King until the day they die, and they're doing their best to live to at least 150. They don't care what happens after that. Do you think Trump gives a single rat's ass what happens to his kids after he's gone?
Either we build guillotines or zoom in on Taylor swift in the suite box.
I love sports but I’m pretty handy with carpentry and tired of this obscene class divide
If dude wanted ww3, he would attack a fellow empire (russia, china, etc).
Instead he's just another coward murdering the poorest people on earth.
Like any president.
