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 the fuck would anyone want to go to the UK? It is Trumpland, but with a accent.
Having lived there, I agree that Britain is the most Fascist nation in Europe after Belarous and Russia, though theirs is the Posh Aristocratic version, so it's not as loud and obvious as "strongman" Fascism.
It's somewhat telling that you comment implies that everyone else has an accent and you don't :)
We haven't gone anywhere near being Trump land yet. And the Trump party (Reform) just got wrecked in an election yesterday.
You seem to somehow have missed the whole Brexit shitshow, including the Tory party becoming openly Anti-Immigrant, Racist and ultra-nationalist with massive national delusions of grandeur (made oh so painfully obvious when the pranced into the EU exit negotiation loudly proclaiming they held all the cards, ultimatilly showing that they did not and not getting the things they wanted the most).
(And lets not forget Britain's very own version of Trump: Boris Johnson)
You also seem to have missed the insane Civil Society Surveillance levels as disclosed in the Snowden Revelations and the recent legislation forcing Britons to ID themselves on the Internet, which is now being further tightenned with proposed restrictions to VPN use.
And lets not forget the anti-Demonstration legislation of the last decade as well as the anti-Terrorism legislation and how it was recently used to arrest anti-Genocide demonstrators as "Terrorism Supporters".
This is not normal in Democracy.
I've lived in multiple countries in Europe, including Britain, and in my view the UK is the most Fascist country in Europe after Belarous and Russia, it's just that British politicians don't play the loud and obnoxious strongman role like Trump or Orban, they play the posh vaguelly aristocratic type who rather than fight the Justice System subverts it to make it a tool to punish those of the riff-raff who are a bit more uppity, hence things like using anti-Terrorism legislation to crack down on those who demonstrate against His Majesty's Government's active support of Genocide.
Granted, given how far the Overtoon Window is to the Right in Britain, I can understand that whilst those outside see the present day Tories as a Far-Right party, for those inside that kind of politics is now so normalized that it's hard for most to recognize just how Far-Right the present day Tories are both in broader European terms and even in historical British terms, so they only see the even-more-Far-Right insane nutters of Reform as Far-Right.
Mind you in my experience the shift to and normalization of the Far-Right is one of the things Britain is ahead of the rest of Europe in: I'm seing happening were I am now the kind of thing I saw happen in Britain over a decade ago.
Ironically the only reform supporter I encountered is my brother who now lives in Australia.
He doesn't like immigrants, we're English.. .. umm
Especially when Ireland is right there!
I'm in England and feel you're on the money there. Their economy is booming with lots of US companies utilising their tax efficient policies.
You get the best of both worlds and hey, Americans are always saying they're Irish so they're going back to their motherland
yeah, I did a gene test and it turns out I'm 0.000001% irish. I may as well move there! (/s)
Céad míle fáilte!
Ireland has shitty phd programs
Because most Americans can only speak English. And Australia is really far away.
If only there was someplace closer
I think people don't like the cold.
I've got good news and bad news
isn't Australia just as bad if not worse?
They just banned corporations from donating to politicians. So. Maybe not really. They also don't have a trump.
but they do have a Murdoch...
and a NSW...
Hey man... Murdoch is fair play....but this was meant to be a clean fight, no need to hit below the belt. They're ashamed enough about it, don't gotta rub it in their face all the time....
I'm getting the popcorn, because murdoch's kids are fighting about newscorp and who is gonna control it. I think lachlan is in the lead atm?
I'm sure whoever ends up in charge it'll definitely be an improvement......🙄
Heavy on the /S here
It surely can't be as bad as having rupe in charge? God, I will never forgive old rupe ruining the NBN :/ We could have had a MINIMUM 1Gbps! But no, fucking rupert ruined that shit. Fucking cunt.
I mean, the shit apple doesn't fall far from the shit tree. Best anyone can hope for is that whoever it is....is an idiot and ruins the lot
