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.

The US' attempt at a color revolution by stealing military weapons and using them to massacre civilians is taught in school, and the many problems that caused some members of the uighur people to visit Afghanistan and come back attempting terrorist actions, as well as the subsequent investment in Xinjiang that has since eliminated the crushing poverty that caused those desperate people to turn to fundamentalist terrorism is also widely and publicly known.
When the US stops thinking their version of reality is correct when they famously run the world's largest and most prolific ministry of truth, then we can talk about censorship. Until then you people are too brainwashed to interact with the majority of the world.
I hope you guys get democracy soon.
Lol. Out of curiousity, do wumao get paid like weekly or is it per comment?
If you legitimately think everyone that disagrees with you, over half the planets population, are all paid trolls or bots... Well it's just terrible your country has no mental healthcare you can access without going broke and losing your job.
I sincerely hope you join the world in the 21st century soon. It has to be awful living in the 1950s.
You're not "everyone who disagrees with me", you're one of a few on Lemmy who are consistently CCP apologists. In this case, your being so open about it is kind of refreshing.
So I will keep pointing out your agenda when you comment on fraught geopolitical issues, such as this.
No, but you have a long history of claiming people on a website with a peak 40k user base are all bots and paid shills.
So I'm not every account you've ever talked to. There's not a global conspiracy targeting you. It's good you can still admit that in your paranoia.
