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.

Stop ALL trade with ameriKKKa, effective immediately.
this is worse than a youtube comment section
Which Youtube comment section? OP is not a Youtube link.
:|
I've edited it to make it clearer, I'm saying the level of intelligence in the comments here is low
I'm sure comments like this will inspire people. You're really good at this.
that's it, time to immediately halt all trade with Canada! 😅
In what ways? What are you objecting to here?
dude you're killing me
You're not responding to direct questions, so you are contributing to making this place feels like a YouTube comment section, as well.
Every comment from them in this post has been an evasive non-answer.
I can't believe people are actually upvoting them.
"People", yes, sure.
What question did I not respond to?
Are you serious? Re-read the comment last comment in this thread that is not mine or yours. Is this that hard for you?
Yeah sorry bud, which one? You're wondering what I'm objecting to?
I don't know what you're confused about. The structure of Lemmy's comment section is pretty simple, and everything I've said has been very straightforward.
why are you being so evasive???
ask the fucking question you want to ask
last chance before block
Why do you have terrible reading comprehension? I never said I have a question I want to ask. All I said was that you're contribution to the lowering of the IQ of the discussion by avoiding to answering a direct question.
brother lets not talk reading comprehension, i feel like i’m talking to a 1st grader
yes and my response was:
“What question did I not respond to?”
https://aussie.zone/post/30151532/21682657
And I pointed it out where to find the question which is literally 2 comments above my first comment. None of this points to me wanting to ask you a question or that I'm interested in your answer to the question. So again, it all stems from your poor reading comprehension.
maybe i have the user blocked? i don’t see any question unanswered, link me to it
You responded to him. Like I said, it was in this same comment thread.
ok i give up, apparently im not answering a question you can’t ask and you can’t link me to 👍
I wasn't the one asking the question, so what's the point of me repeating it instead of just you going back to the original question and answering that? And I also don't want to waste time linking to something that is on the same page.
