A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

This subinstance or whatever the fuck they’re called is full of the most sod worthy news. Nothing but Putin and shit that makes me want to rip my eyeballs off. Fucking why.
This specifically is not world news. It is back alley India news.
I'm blocking submissions by the OP 😅
it seems people don't like bad news from my state/ my attempts at article shortening in the title
alright i will try my best next time.
People are tired of bad news in general. It has nothing in particular to do with where this happened.
The Internet means that I, someone thousands of miles away, am now aware of the tragedies you are suffering, as well. Sometimes it seems like that much knowledge of suffering just wasn't what we were built to handle every day.
It's not you or where you live, it's just that humans can only take humans being awful to each other for so long before it becomes too much to bear.
there is barely any good news from this part of the world.
i live around people who watch media (known as godi media) that keep them dumb by feeding them propaganda that "nothing is wrong in this country" and "opponents of the party in power are evil who want to tarnish our countries image."
they fear monger people to get votes and in the last few months they feed them little candies (lower petrol/electricity prices) and sports washing their problems
but if they have a problem then they show action especially in the personal matters
and public still buys the "india superpower by 2020" bs.
I saw his submission history I would have liked to keep seeing the Indian space news but not if I have to see 5-10x articles like this one. I am also blocking him.
Can you block someone using a browser? I clicked their name and then "block user", but it did nothing.
Sanjeev, who is also a distant relative of the woman, came to meet the family and took her daughter to his house to play with her on Friday.
After some time, the mother heard her baby crying loudly and rushed to Sanjeev's house where she found her daughter lying naked and bleeding.
She immediately shouted for help. Sanjeev was immediately caught and roughed up by the family and other people in the neighbourhood.
He was handed over to the police. Meanwhile, the survivor was sent for treatment. The child's condition is stable and she was discharged on Saturday. Additional SP Shirish Chandra said, "We have arrested the accused and he has been booked under sections 376 (rape) of IPC along with sections 5 and 6 of the Pocso Act.
The accused, who is unmarried and unemployed, has confessed to his crime and has been sent to the Sambhal district jail."
Goddamnit. I did not need to see this so early in the fucking morning.
This is not what I want to see on World News.
I've read some very sadistic, horrendous and evil crimes from this region.
Taf.....why is up Florida but cranked up. I'm so tired of this bs happening so much 😭
