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.

okay so let me get this straight. it's up to me to sort out the fascism in my home country, stop the genocide in sudan, stop the genocide in gaza, stop the genocide in ukraine, stop the genocide in china, would you also like a pony sir? what ever happened to a people's responsibility of self determination that y'all keep throwing in my face whenever i mention that the orange fuckface has become an international problem and it's time to start employing economic sanctions to try reining in the united states? y'all stop your own genocides.
What!? Do you not even care about climate change? Why do you hate nature?
A duck bit me once and now the world must burn
It's up to you to bite the duck
I'm concerned if I bite it back I'll get the runs out something. I hear they have worms
I think you should undergo duck conversion therapy so you can understand your enemy better
Noooooo I don't want a ducking down
Now you live off oil stock dividends and named your children Hazel, Woody, and Deepak Horizon?
Deepwater Chopra
Not only you but the rest of the population as well. And really, if we all cooperated together on this, these issues could be solved easily in a few years, if not months.
If we really cooperated and agreed on the goals (that's the hard one) we could fucking rebuild our society into a just and benevolent one practically overnight. I don't want to go through eugenics wars to get there or whatever other horror science fiction says we need in order to do what we can intellectually conceptualize. The short version of that is "it works cause everyone who didn't get it is dead!" and that's one hell of a failure
What are you doing about the homeless crisis?
I have built 3 homeless shelters. You?
I work with the city housing advocacy board as a navigator who helps get people housing vouchers. Though I was mostly leaning into the doom posting, not really asking a question.
"3 homeless shelters"
that could be a tent you put up every summer at camp. We now need a more definitive definition of "homeless shelter" and "genocide".
The cheapest one cost 1.5 million dollars and was a 5 year project. Go bother someone else, poser
Why are you bothered by my post, and why don't you use the word "poseur" instead? "Poser" is a poser term
You shouldn't let responses bother you, it's kinda sad
You got me, they're actually a set of goalposts with a sheet over them - but it appears someone moved them.
Is there anything the rest of the world can do to help you with your orange fascist problem?
Because it seems to be in the way of solving a lot of the other issues.
Definitely. They just don't have the balls to do it.
I have a list, ranging from targeted economic sanctions to explicit military actions though discussing the latter probably doesn't just put me on a list, it probably puts me in a hole.
Targeted economic sanctions, specifically on US [-based multinational] corporations, specifically on Krasnov donors and investment vehicles Krasnov is known to have invested in: this is probably the strongest tool in y'alls arsenal without declaring war. Example: There was an oil embargo placed on Japan in/prior to ww2 and there's good evidence to support that without said embargo, Japan would not have attacked Pearl Harbor. Basically, if you can't target specific industries, cut the united states off from the world the way the world has cut off Cuba.
Edit: [added a couple woids for clarity]
But Trump isn't in Sudan, Gaza, Ukraine, or China; he's not the cause of any of this.
he's not a God, he's just an old moron. when he dies, none of those issues will be solved or even improve in any way
A genocide anywhere is a huge problem. The US is playing a major role in the genocide in Palestine, so yes it makes sense that Americans are more concerned about that one than the one in Sudan.
Don't be late on your mortgage, tuition for any children, and taxes.
And if you keep your phone longer than 6 months you're a loser.
70% of the world pisses and moans when america plays world police. 70% of the world pisses and moans when america doesn't play world police.
Its because, much like the real police, they aren't doing beneficial constructive things. If, they for example stepped in to stop what russia is doing to Ukraine most people would be happy, if they stepped in to stop what israel is doing, most people would be happy, if they stepped in to stop what is happening in Sudan most people would be happy instead they bombed children in Tehran.
Even if most real people would be happy, you can bet Israel, Russia, and the RSF + allies would astroturf the hell out of a "How dare America, evil world police, expansionist imperialism" campaign. And, just like how much of America is stupid, many people globally will believe it. It has happened before.
When has it happened before?
Thank you
