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.

Americans if this is not the time for second amendment I don’t fucking know what it. This is Munich 1938, it’s now or deal with a king and a world war where you guys are the Nazis.
The opposition has been infighting and soon you’ll all be silenced too. Before Germany invaded Europe, they stamped out any dissent within their borders first. Throwing the growing list of undesirable in camps without due process.
It’s not like this is already happening in America is it? 🤔 But really Americans how much more do you need? And don’t just throw your arms up in the air and dodge blame while you sit on your couch watching Netflix.
Your country was won by fat farmers and every profession in between when they realized it was UNITE OR DIE
I have multiple guns, I live 3,000 miles from DC, I own them mostly to shoot at bears who come near me, what do you suggest I do?
Organising with others is a good first step
Well I’m well on my way to step two then it’s so frustrating to see people tell me I just need to shoot things/people though
Some kind of large gathering of likeminded people, perhaps? That could be workable...
Too much effort for an American. No one is paying them enough to skip a day of work.
Sarcasm:
Think of the starving shareholders!
They managed it on Jan 6 a few years ago
IDK, the protests do seem to be pretty well attended, despite the apparent effort required...
Stay away from gay night clubs
But who do we shoot. Like really?
What do I do ?
It sounds plausible on paper but just not possible in real life to do anything. With or without a gun.
They didnt invade all of Europe.
