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.

We're going to run out, and then every other country in the world should bomb the shit out of three targets: the White House, the Capitol, and Maralago. Those are the seats of MAGA power.
I'd prefer them to bomb Wall Street and all those demons inside
That would hurt a LOT of innocent civilians. The only city they should bomb is DC. Maybe some some of those billionaire enclaves in Connecticut.
You clearly give no fucks about civilians based on your first comment.
Not that I totally disagree with the idea, mind, but there's tons of innocents that would be killed in the three strikes mentioned.
Mostly MAGAs, so that's okay. I want to minimize innocent lives, but not MAGA.
Mostly MAGAs, eh? The Capitol is on your target list. The two chambers of Congress themselves are relatively close to 50/50, so right there, you're supporting the killing of about half non-MAGA, neverminding staff. Neverminding non-political employees like security and others. Neverminding those who work close enough to be impacted. Neverminding civilians happening to be on a tour or driving by on the road.
I suggest that your comments are either thoughtless or inhumane and not much better than Israeli strikes on Gaza, except I will give you credit for killing some fascists along with all the innocents. :P
There's a handful I wouldn't want to lose, so I hope they're out of town that day. No big loss on the rest, no matter what their party. What, I'm supposed to get upset about the destruction of the Manchurian MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries?
