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.
-
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.

No fucking shit. But I'm sure all those Palestinians in Gaza are so relieved that Kamala Harris didn't win the 2024 election!
My God we dodged a bullet. First period hits and suddenly we are kidnapping world leaders and trying to invade allies to take them over.
Sigh. Women just aren't built for the pressure, unfortunately.
But she's a neolib! But she's a career prosecutor! But her laugh! womp womp womp
All the idiots who didn't vote for her: "Why aren't you stopping trump?!?!?"
She was the least worst candidate without a doubt. She wasn't a good candidate.
Literal hitler 2.0
Vs
Well, she’s just not a good candidate
We’re fucking cooked.
Sure, but when we say that we have to acknowledge that Trump had zero qualities of an actual candidate.
Well, you know what they say about democracy. It's the best out of all the bad options...
it make sense why she chose the extremely passive tim walz
Misogyny and racism may or may not have been part of why she lost the election. And I'm leaning towards the former.
most certainly did, but the other is fuckery in the voting machine by musk.
trump got all these leaders in one room,
"leaders" in this case meaning dictators, corrupt sycophants, and puppets?
Any self-respecting leaders sat this one out.
For posterity, could you remind everyone what Kamala's plan was for stopping the genocide and standing up to Israel to protect the Palestinians in Gaza?
For clarity: I missed it because I quickly decided how I was going to vote, so I didn't follow the campaigns all that closely once I had made my decision.
Lemme know how trump is gonna treat them asshole.
Do you think that the decision I came to early on was to vote for Trump?
Whatever it was, it would have been magnitudes better than what trump is doing. Biden literally sent a ship to Gaza filled with humanitarian aid, but they left because hamas wouldn't stop lobbing mortars at them.
Of course, some people won't be satisfied with anything less than "from the river to the sea," but honestly I'm not a fan of ethnic cleansings no matter who's doing it. So if the only way to satisfy is to fellate hamas, then I really can't be bothered...
