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.

If you can so easily google shit your self, why could you not provide a single source to back up your claim about children as human shields in hospitals? If you belive that you have been told lies, why do you say such things so matter of factually? Do you still think that is the case?
And why is it that you get this excessive reaction at mild push back? Why is it that you can't be asked to do what you ask of others? Could you perhaps see how one could easily be lead to the conclusion that you're not acting in the spirit you claim to?
I'm not going to post links to nonsense allegedly one-sided propaganda for you because that's not what I'm here for.
Because humans have egos, and those are built over years and years, they are difficult to take down and change. I'm coming to a realization ive been reading propaganda and had the wrong opinion the entire time and having difficulty understanding how or why this happened to me. Isee what you are saying.
I'm not going to answer to you, specifically, because you sound like a dipshit trying to instigate an argument for no reason, so go fuck yourself. I'm going to proceed to read the links others here have shared with me to become better informed without your help, fuck off somewhere else you bigoted dumbass.
If you learned that this was fucked up since you wrote this? More power to you i guess. But you'll have to excuse any one that your personal journey theses few hours don't come across.
Maybe just chill with the insults as well. Calling folks Q-anon headed two days after learning that you've been way wrong for i don't know how long is a real lack of humility. Take it as an Ego check.
I feel like I've been projecting with the name calling so far and I need to take a good look in the mirror. Appreciate your patience with my ignorance and aggression; how I act is how scared weak people typically respond and i need to be better
Damn. You know what? Your really cool. Takes a lot to to admit what you just did. I would like to take the opportunity as well to apologize for the abrasiveness on my part that, i need to be better at grasping that some people actually want to learn and not use it as tools for political argumentation. Thank you!
