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.

Building a database of non-muslim diplomats does not seem like a breakthrough. I can't help myself but smell nazi everywhere I look lately.
You do know that diplomats are not people from the land of Diplomia right?
Like these are foreign government employees residing in your country, who have special government permission to work there in the first place.
It’s not an ethnic group to terrorise, you don’t want them there you say “hey you’re revoked gtfo”.
Also, diplomats are already registered on a list. So this is all moot.
I'm guessing, lack of alcohol access really narrows the list of diplomats who actually want to work there. Concessions like this goes a long way to improving the talent pool of diplomats working there. It's just good foreign relations, and what country doesn't want that?
Logging their habits is definitely not proper behaviour.
Uh for a controlled substance? Yes it is.
I can’t buy weed in my country without it being put through a database. The only difference here is that the people allowed to buy the substance aren’t the citizens of the country.
Do you have an allotment assigned to you and recorded against your name? Also just because it happens to you doesn't mean it is right either.
Yes, and yes. I think it was like 100g in 3 months or something, I hit it once but for some reason I can't remember exactly how much it was.
It's not right, but it's a slight step up from zero at all ever.
So we're in agreement that this shouldn't be the case then
Pretty sure any nation knows how many diplomats are in their country, take off the tinfoil hat.
I'd love to, but it's comfy in the world where religious violence is the theme of the party.
While I probably overreacted I still wouldn't use this to get drunk if I were in their shoes.
hey with SA it doesn't have to be religious - afaik nothing about Khashoggi's murder was related to religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khashoggi
