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.

Crickets from the ML
china isn't marxist at all. western communists want a hero, but there just isn't one.
I know. I’m talking about the ML, not China. The ML are nowhere when China is dirty.
🪲 (imagine this is a cricket)
🦗
As it turns out, there is a cricket emoji.
Thank you for blessing us with one of your alt accounts. Tell us how this is all fake news and that in China, people sing all day and praise the beloved Pooh bear for his beauty and wisdom.
The person you are replying to left a "cricket" emoji (it was actually generic bug because they weren't aware that a specific cricket emoji exists). They are clearly agreeing with your original point about how MLs are oddly quiet in circumstances like this. I get that it's super easy to become hypervigilant towards bad faith discourse in online discussions, but please take a step back and see that the only person trying to start an argument here is you
This was not their intended message. 🦗
Woah dude.
Your account isn’t new, so… do you just not know what an ML is?
It's just an insane read of a comment. Like step back and just read the progression on that from the outside.
My only response is, woah.
Right, it’s insane. ML are insane. That was kinda the point. Glad my message got across haha
I'm all for shitting on tankies but I'm unsure what part of an all-male divine birthright theocracy they're supposed to support?
Say the last part to Gazans.
They hate the West's genocides we bring on ourselves.. theirs are okay.
Say something bad about the ML
They keep registering at other instances which makes blocking them all frustrating

Yeah, I’m pretty sure there’s only like 5 of them and they’re really busy switching accounts. Occasionally they’ll forget to switch and comment as someone else using the same grammar and punctuation mistakes.
They just live in the US, hate the US, and got sucked into this fake communist thing where they simp for China and pretend to hate genocide—but only when it makes the west look bad. China can abuse the Uyghurs all day long because that’s “not happening”
They support the Han ethnostate
One China and all. Oh other people exist? Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee one China!
Ironically, most of the ML are from the USA
Or other "western" nations. I've never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.
Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.
Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren't strictly.
I used to work in the Bay Area with a lot of immigrants from China and Taiwan. The Taiwanese were like “fuuuuuck China, poohbear shit” and the Chinese were like “can you marry me… please? My parents will pay the rent for 5 years.”
