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.

No
Yes that part sucked.
....what? Unhinged spending? How? "Hard left"? No... what rights were attacked?
Who was forced? Literally NO one was forced.
They aren't and it doesn't
And that's why Europe and Canada are closer now?
Yes. Pipelines are coming. Mining is coming. 17 years for a permit is ending.
You were forced indirectly and you know it. Don’t want to get a vaccine? Good luck at the border, good luck going to the movies, good luck going to school.
Should we take more firearms away from law abiding gun owners? Or should they spend the money at the border and stop the illegal guns coming in? Should we continue to hand out tax funded drugs at these “safe sites” - which are ineffective, costly and dangerous? Or should be these people be getting help rather then being enabled.
Dude, the liberals spent more money in the last 10 years than every other PM combined. You explain how that’s not unhinged.
Canada and Europe can be closer with trading. Sure, why not. Seems great, it does nothing to create growth in our country if we don’t have things to sell. How much money, jobs, stability would be created just with ontarios ring of fire alone?
I read this entire thread and you sound almost like a MAGA from down here. Are you sure you didn't take a wrong turn on the way to r/conservative?
My bingo card:
Being against providing a safe space for drug addicts is a new one, though. If they're going to shoot up regardless, isn't it better that their biohazardous needles are disposed of safely and not in a park?
Yeah, no.
