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.

I believe both Jews and Palestinians deserve to live in their homeland. If that belief causes a few bad actors supporting Hamas to call me a Zionist as a slur, so be it.
@WamGams @n3m37h
I bet you a nickle the DNA of Palestinians matches that of the Jews. They are the same people, except for something something.
100%
If you mean that they are human as much as the Jews are, than yes.
But the idea that Palestinians are secret Jews by genetics is something that the Palestinian people would likely reject.
Religion is fucking man made anyways
I agree, but now let's get the Israelis and Palestinians to agree.
Yet your only concern has been for Isreal, the ones doing a genocide.
Excuse us if we don't believe you at all
You don't know a thing about me or my beliefs and you have zero percent interest in knowing them. Pretending to have that knowledge is your goal here.
Pretty angry and defensive take when all I did was point out the behaviour you've had in this thread
The fact that you are accusing me unprovoked of being angry at you leads me to believe your intent in this dialog is to try and make me angry.
Perhaps in your mind anger is the correct response when somebody lies and misconstrues, but you are ignoring the fact that I expect that kind of behavior out of Pro-Hamas accounts.
Nah, homie, people going "you don't know me or my beliefs" are clearly upset at being called out on their behaviour online, thats why I said you're angry.
Still claiming people you don't agree with are pro-hamas? Pathetic.
Telling you your presumptions about me are wrong makes me angry?
I don't know, man, I think you are mistaken, but you can't be told nothing, so I guess just keep pretending your life away?
And I believe our dialog started because you took my anti-Hamas stance to mean I was pro-genocide. So I'm just mirroring your own behavior, which yes, I do agree has been pathetic.
No, but that's not what you did.
Interesting, as the only claim I made was that you've made exclusively pro-israeli comments in this thread. There's objective proof of that, so like, no?
*Anything. And I can be told whatever you want to say. Will I respect and accept it? Probably not.
No, it's when I pointed out that you'd only made pro-israeli comments while being as unfair as possible to the Palestinians.
Learn to read usernames or you'll look even dumber, dude
What specific comment of mine was "pro-Israel"?
I will wait.
