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.

That's just a moronic statement, English is absolutely the best language for international news, you just have to avoid the American news.
But apart from that I speak 5 languages, and also get news from other sources than English speaking.
So what news is it exactly you think is better, as in more accurate?
Also the obvious increased confidence lately from Zelenskyy is very telling, completely disregarding the fact that Ukraine is basically taking out the Russian economy as we speak. And Russia hasn't made any battlefield progress for a year now, despite having made several attempts at great cost.
Also Russia has spend all their assets from the Soviet Union now, and the reserve funds Putin had to withstand economic sanctions has run out.
Russia's private economy is down 30% this year, when correcting for military spending, and Putin has no more tricks to hide it from the public. That's a very strong recipe for change of government.
On thew other side, the Ukrainian economy is actually stabilizing, and Ukraine is in a stronger position than ever against Russia.
Sure you do.
I look forward to you refusing to admit you were wrong when Ukraine loses.
LOL the response from somebody who has nothing to support his argument.
And yes I actually speak 5 languages, which is apparently so alien to you you have difficulty believing it.
But 3 languages is actually the norm where I live, not all countries are centered on speaking only 1 language.
It burns when you find out your bubble is smaller than mine doesn't it?
It's amusing watching you try so hard to prove yourself to strangers on the internet while being objectively wrong.
It's so fun watching you trying to get on the high horse and fall on your face, because there isn't even a horse to get on.
Okay, can you now just provide your sources please.
