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.

Good for them for breaking North American hegemony.
🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🙇♂️
The only thing they've broken is their own economic growth. Alarms are going off in China particularly. Hard to make a recovery plan when government also controls the industry. Their last round of stimulus did absolutely nothing.
Not to mention, the other half is that they wouldn’t even be discussing this if Russia wasn’t being slowly economically strangled due to sanctions. And Russia wouldn’t be getting sanctioned if the hadn’t fucking invaded Ukraine proper in 2022.
Without the dollar, no economic growth
Sounds like a monopoly to me.
I don‘t support monopolies.
Feel free to give me any of the dollars or dollar-backed currencies in your possession since you don't support them. I'll be happy to take them off your hands. I won't even ask for a chicken or goat in trade.
I‘m so thankful that there are people like you on Lemmy who get it!
Faith restored!
You either support what you consider to be a monopoly, the U.S. dollar, or you don't.
If you don't, you should clear your conscience by getting rid of it all. I'm just trying to help. You don't want to be hypocritical, do you?
Well you're not going to replace it with a less trusted method. Ask any company that ran into China in the 90s whether they would do it again. I guarantee their version of this will be more restrictive and offer 0 protections for the businesses that use it. They all know the Chinese government just seizes whatever they want whenever they want it.
Well I wouldn't turn to Russia for economic growth. That's for sure.
You are a charming lad, aren't ya? Into the Shadow Realm you go.
That‘s me.
I am critical of Russia and United States of North America.
Sue me, right?
They already blocked you to keep their echo chamber pure.
Cause if you can't see people that disagree with you they don't exist and you can be surprised and angry when things just don't go your way.
I always say that Russia is committing war crimes so your point sir ?
I am just criticizing how international law is selective.
Reminder that countries in the third world hate each other, for the most part. Even here, China basically just sees Russia as potentially useful.
