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.

Article literally says she has US citizenship. Should have stayed out of Russia.
The land without warmongering dictators isn't imaginary in this case. And let's not pretend this is just any shitty thing that happens in any country.
How dare she visit family or anything else that might take her there. Really every Russian should leave forever one-way at their earliest opportunity or they get what they deserve?
They can do whatever they want, all I said is I ain't gonna be sad (or surprised) about it. Don't want to get shoved into prison for no reason? Don't go to Russia.
Plenty of Ukranians risking their life to visit family, where the infrastructure still exists to do it at least. Fuck Russia
Yeah man, I picked up on your total lack of compassion for this person whose life was just ruined by the Russia you so hate.
She had a choice. This isnt a protester inside Russia, and Russia didnt go get her in another country like China does. No compassion.
She did more against Russia by picking herself up and moving away from it than you will ever do with your “fuck Russia” comments online. Your derision for her is as impotent and pitiful as your hatred of her birth country. You’re never going to “fuck Russia” or anything else with this small dick energy.
Ad hominems of course tells us how many arguments you have left. She left Russia in 2015, way before the full scale invasion. Going back is having her cake and eating it.
I also haven't claimed that I am somehow a militant against russia. This is just like, my opinion man. I haven't attacked you personally for yours.
Calling me a Russian shill was an ad hominem, and an attack. The stupidity is getting quite thick here.
You literally admitted to having a hidden interest (sob story about Dad or whatever) lmao.
Glad you agree you ran out of stuff to say though, we can agree on something.
My dad is not Russian. It’s not a “hidden interest,” it’s a life experience that gives me compassion for this person.
