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.

Always find it absolutely fucking bizarre when people wish rape on others in the context of justice or social decency. Like rape is a suitable punishment or something.
“You did crime/bad thing! Hope you have crimes committed against you in prison!”
Somali is a shitbag but no where near as bad as a rapist.
like yeah wow that's an entirely horrific statement
you can't just wish rape on people like that's an okay thing. especially if they're literally not even a rapist themself. johnny somali is a scumbag nuisance troll but he's not like an actually dangerous person. this is a very concerning approach to the topic of sexual assault, like i think it says a lot about the person saying it
Pain is the only language some understand. It's unfortunate but it's true.
Man rape doesn’t really have any grey areas. Either you
A. Think no one deserves to be raped, think it’s never justified and is wrong.
B. Disagree with one or more of A.
Guess which group rapist belong in? You could have said “I hope he gets beaten to a pulp” or anything similar but you chose a grossly enthusiastic form of “I hope he gets raped”. Literally rapist mentality to think it’s ever justifiable. What do you think the perpetrators in your scenario would do it to Somali because of justice? No. Because he could either justify it to himself or others. Your outlook on justice and punishment is that of a high schooler.
agreed like hell. like... what the fuck?
Yeah even it being the internet aside, wild people don’t see saying shit like this for the self report that it is and it getting upvotes.
His crimes are literally insulting victims of rape
Since when is insulting the same as actual physically raping someone?
So? Not being an arsehole here, in relation to my reply, what is your point?
