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.

Why is stuff like this allowed but if I were to call for the death of every israeli soldier I would probably get banned?
I've seen "Death Death To The IDF" on here plenty of times. I also don't believe that wishing death on people who participate in unmitigated genocide should be frowned upon.
But they said they wanted the russian soldiers to die, not the russian military to be dissolved. "Death to the IDF" is against the institution IDF not singular soldiers.
And don't forget the dehumanising language which certainly would have gotten me banned if I said the same about Israelis (at least on lemmy.world).
To be fair i DID SAY preferably alive so it's literally true that i did the opposite of call for their death :p They need to go home though. Back home to Russia. Not Ukraine.
That said, I DO IN FACT believe the Jewish peoples should have a safe nation to live in. ISRAEL IS NOT SUCH A PLACE. They should go back to Europe and stop trying to colonize indigenous people. Or hell, I would LOVE for them to live right here in New England! I will in fact NOT shoot rockets at them because I want them to live in peace and safety HERE, FAR AWAY FROM PALESTINE
To be fair, YOU DID SAY „orcs“ to describe Russians, that‘s dehumanization and a type of othering called Russophobia.
Would you? Would think it entirely depends on where you left such a comment
On the neoliberal lemmy.world I would almost certainly at least get my comment removed
It's going to get removed any second now just believe in yourself 🙏
Are you intentionally misunderstanding my point? I didn't make any negative statements about people of certain nationalities or ethnicities. I just mentioned a hypothetical to show the racism and hypocrisy of the original commenter and the mods
I in fact am calling for that.
Making death wishes in general shouldn't be tolerated, I think that's a basic principle to uphold.
