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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

So, I guess it's been foreign tourists who have been planting pipe bombs and shooting up our schools?
Exactly. That tourist may look harmless with their camera and suitcase. But there are actually pure blooded chaos agents sent to destroy our beautiful nation. -s
That's insane. This is insane.
If you don't go, don't invest over there. You won't have to submit them anything. So like North Korea, Iran or China: stay away.
As if people are even planning to visit. I’m not, not even when Trump is dead.
People should not be coming to the US. They are likely to be chained and sent back by these fascist.
Sent back if they're lucky. Otherwise sent to concentration camps, El Salvador, or just never seen again at all.
More like chained, thrown into concentration camps, and forgotten about/ lost/ killed. Travelling to this country is an existential threat.
This is protection. Protection for a snowflake trump administration against JD Vance memes. Egos in this government are too fragile for repeated meme attacks and therefore they must be stopped at the borders at all costs. God I wish this was a joke
Hahahahha what a bunch of thin-skinned losers
Only a matter of time before there is a royal insult law in the USA.
The list of countries in the visa waiver program includes many European nations like the United Kingdom, Germany and France, as well as some U.S. allies around the world, including Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and South Korea.
Side note: interesting that European countries are not included in the list of allies.
And the rest of us boycott in solidarity.
Can someone ELI5 why their map of visa free countries doesn't include Canada? Canada doesn't need a visa
It's probably because entry for Canadians is specified by a different program. Even the State Department website seems to exclude Canada from the VWP.
Perhaps 10 years ago I seriously thought that moving to USA might improve my life.
