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.

Did you happen to notice the one country not on the list?
Here I’ll give you a hint it’s name starts with an “R” and is run by a man who’s name starts with a “P” and is currently at war with a country that starts with a “U”…
Wait what?
President Paul Kagame of Rwanda declared war on Uganda?
~/s~
Nice
I knew I’d get the ol’ switch-a-roo comments. Please enjoy one internet point sir.
😒 , at least like put any effort forth if you're going to steal a joke and make it shittier.
Sorry, I don't want to be shitty, but I found his joke much better, because I understood and laughed right away without needing disclaimers, spoiler texts or to click any links, it was direct and to the point.
well the spoiler text really was just because I wanted to talk about Mbaye Diagne and you just have to hover over the links to get the joke. But I get it, different levels of humor appeal to different people. A lot easier to digest when it's all just spelled out for ya and you don't have to think any harder about it.
Lol, didn't even click the links, I kinda assumed it was Russia-Ukraine and just googled "countries that start with R"
lol and I wonder why you had the idea and were inspired to play up the idea of "countries that start with R" after you just read two other comments doing the same thing.

This you? 😁
(But this just an internet comment, ain't that deep, Mr. Peele 😉)
Well technically R would fall under the category "rest of the world", no?
Doesn't the US already have full sanctions with Russia? So literally no trade is happening with them, so a tarrif would be pointless? Maybe I missed trump removing the sanctions at some point in his onslaught of nonsense.
Trade IS happening with Russia. Only specific companies and industries are sanctioned, everything else is business as usual.
Sounds like I stand corrected.
Penguins trade with the US?
I'm so sick of the bullshit misinformation that gets upvoted on this site. First, you demand tariffs on what equals to roughly 0.8% of our total imports. Second, there is no "war" currently going on between "R" and "U". Also, I thought the "P" man ended the genocide against "R" citizens by taking power, I'm not a scholar though so link away with whatever truth burger you're trying to peddle.
spoiler
/s definitely check links and facts before you get upset with words you don't like lolOk but seriously, I gotta give a shout out to Mbaye Diagne. This is a serious bad-ass, I can't state just how bad his ass really is. Like all the bullshit movies and books of fake and made up narratives and we have this motherfucker who walked the earth.
That was such a wonderful thing to run into after reading over the history of Rwanda and the Hutu and Tutsi people. Guess even during war and genocidal times you can still look for the helpers.
I see we have a dirty tankie in our midst.
Man is trolling about Rwanda and Uganda
