A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Ooooooooooh h8 breaking from law based rule but oooooooooh we do love money money so good
I don’t think that the French government will make money from the World Cup hosted in Canada, Mexico and the US.
There's so much more (taxable) revenue from the World Cup than just the ticket sales. Travel, merchandise, TV rights, sales later on from notariety, etc. Tbf I don't have an exhaustive understanding of soccer profits so that's not an exhaustive list, but I know a TON of money that trades hands around these events.
So they're bolstering the US economy for free then?
Isn't France on of the top contenders? There's absolutely a ton of money to be made by competing.
They held the Olympics in Nazi Germany, I guess.
Personally I can't imagine anyone willingly going to the US
Sure he is threatening to start a war with us but not going to their world cup would be rude!
Weak. Do it
I think it's better to stop advocating for things on the left that have no chance of success. Especially when success would be determined by the left organizing and pressuring something IRL to happen.
Maybe that's the only way France can win again
None of the countries big on football are going to boycott the WC, there's 0 political will for it and would only make the government less popular
I simply don’t believe that European countries will ever stand up for themselves against the US. It’s just so pathetic to watch.
Sports is just circus clowning that people started betting on.
Why boycott? Just eliminate the USA as the host. The matches will be played in Canada and Mexico. And so Americans don't understand football.
