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. 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 10/19
-
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.

You guys just don't even try anymore do you? The CCP has never controlled Taiwan. Taiwan is an independent state. Come join us over here in reality.
Hell yeah, time for Germany to conquer all territories that were a member of the Holy Roman Empire of Germanic Nations.
Because that's apparently how it works. Own it once, own it forever.
Alexa, when was the state of Germany formed?
I get it bro, you love exterminationist ultranationalists
Is this how trolling works? You throw nonsense and thats it? This is pathetic
Removed CCP propoganda.
And who owned Taiwan before that? Because by your logic THEY should be the current owners as well.
Removed CCP propoganda.
Who cares about imperialist arguments about territory ownership anyway? The people living in a territory should have self determination.
Yes I'm aware this isn't how things work, but I'm not going around making imperialist arguments about who should be subjugated by whom.
Least fascist CCP supporter.
“Fascism is when you go against right wing ultranationalists”
"Right wing ultranationalism is when democracy" - average red-painted fascist
The ultranationalists that would kill 9 generations of your family for even being associated with their opposition party? They’re doing “democracy?” And they said Helldivers was satire
Joined Aug. 22nd, 2024. First post was expressing desire to be a moderator in a communism sub. Expresses support for nations like China specifically when in relation to Taiwan. Supports other odd situations and events. Has a name "JohnBrown". If it wasn't for the fact that you're so unlikeable, I'd make an argument that you're a plant to try and twist narratives and convince communities of certain ideologies.
Nice investigation skills genius, got anything more than conjecture or would you like to skip straight to calling me a rUsSiAn BoT?
Removed CCP propoganda.
I don’t know what was said, but is that a rule on here now? That you can just remove anything you deem to be CCP propaganda? I have noticed that nearly anything that can be construed as pro Russia or pro China is downvoted to hell on here. But so far I hadn’t noticed posts outright removed by mods. This feels wrong on so many levels. Why not let people express their opinion so long as they do not do it in an offensive manner?
Dude was saying China owns Taiwan and has always owned Taiwan. Literal Chinese propaganda.
Ok but my question was did he break any rules? Is all propaganda forbidden on here, only Chinese propaganda, how do we decide? Or is it up to the mod’s discretion to decide what propaganda is undesirable and remove it?
Rule 6, trolling. We don't need that kind of grief.
Same as if someone rolled in saying Ukraine wasn't a country and belonged to Russia. Just absolute nonsense.
Respectfully, I do not see how this falls under trolling. Trolling would assume that the poster is disingenuous. But nothing that I have seen suggests that he was. And I do not think that moderators should make such calls. You may feel that something is “nonsense” but that does not mean you should exercise what little power you have to silence people, unless they clearly violate commonly agreed upon rules. Anyway, I don’t have a horse in this race, only reason I’m speaking up is because I see more and more forums that could host lively debate turn into circlejerks.
It wasn't a single comment, it was multiple on the same line.
Down you go muahahahaha ;p
Ooo the neoliberals are downdooting me whatever shall I do
go spread your stuff somewhere else? just a kind suggestion.
I love when the segregationist argument is used. “Kindly, your kind aint welcome here so why dont yall go elsewhere, kindly”
If you love it, then just follow that feeling and leave. Thank you kindly.
