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.

Um... it might surprise you but there are, in fact, things that are more important than the Epstein files. Nothing is going to come out of the Epstein files; everyone who cares about the truth already knows Trump is a pedophile.
I’m sorry you feel so defeatist.
I agree there are more important things than the Files. That doesn’t mean we should not try to get them out by all means necessary.
I would wager the millions of misguided and mislead MAGA voters, actually got sucked into that movement in part because they wanted that ‘truth’, and I’d wager they don’t yet know.
I don’t post these to minimise the other grave and important things that are happening.
It is a distraction reminder for us that all this (real and harmful) commotion is being used to divert attention from his own criminality, and his attempt to cover for the pedophile cabal of the world. This is why he is there. This is what he is really good at.
Until we learn to drive our own agenda (back in the day, we used to have real journalists driving ‘gates’ like Watergate, which terminated a presidency) and stop taking the bait, nothing will change.
All we have as outsiders is a little bit of online pressure to the lawmakers in the states. Each time one of these egregious acts of him get us outraged, we have spent that energy and can’t use it for a common goal so great that if we were successful, it would not just be the end of him, his sycophants, but the entire US-zionist-billionaire cult and royal families in Europe.
This is the one card that topples their entire house, that keeps them blackmailed, and stops a former formidable force like the UK to even say one peep about Maduro being kidnapped.
He swears at a random labourer who calls him a pedophile protector. And flips him off. He can’t stand this. It is really bad, and he knows he is done when it gets out, which is why it must come out. It is bigger than him, it goes to the Supreme Court, members of congress, billionaires, and parts of the royal families of Europe, and of course Israel. I am convinced it will come out, I’m less sure if he will live to see that day.
