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.

Does UK have death sentence ?
wtf? The only two countries in Europe that are barbaric enough to have capital punishment are Russia and Belarus. No civilized country has it.
The US does lol
Always makes me laugh seeing Americans realize how they look to the rest of the world on the internet.
I mean, I did specify civilized countries.
And in Europe. Civilizedness is subjective, "in Europe" definitely isn't.
Nah. There's nothing civilized about capital punishment. I specified Europe because the UK is in Europe, and there's no European country with capital punishment outside of Russia & Belarus.
Yeah the USA isn’t really a modern nation. Just a bunch of corporations and religious nuts in a trenchcoat
With an enormous, technologically-advanced military. And nukes.
1: Most states don't have it either, and the federal government doesn't ask for it anymore. You'd have to like, lead an outright rebellion as a filthy poor to get a federal death sentence.
2: Some people deserve to get got, your opinion means nothing regardless.
Russia doesn't have the death penalty: They abolished it to get into the Council of Europe and haven't re-introduced it yet.
...that's de jure, though. De facto is a completely different matter, both when it comes to falling out of windows and prison conditions so bad serving meatgrinder duty in Ukraine is a preferable option.
It does. It's just suspended. But yeah, the legal status doesn't mean anything when you're just going to illegally murder people anyway.
Lol civilized Europe ! what a joke you guys used to kill everyone who opposed you when you used to colonize don't forget the past buddy . And US were the ones to stop you
When we used to colonize? The US literally was a European colony too, so that makes you the same bearer of your own "criticism". But why look hundreds of years into the past when we talk about current modern day policies? Especially when the US continues to uphold those archaic practices? You just further prove my point that Europe moved on and left its gruesome past behind, while the US further relishes in it, or even wanders backwards. I heard you're big into banning books and taking away freedoms now too.
People who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it and yes US is going to shit because of some dumb fucks .
Yes and i am against it most of the time but i make exceptions for anything that includes children or trafficking
If you make any exceptions you grant the government a legal loophole for murdering people. That, and court systems are never accurate enough to be able to sentence someone to death.
I guess that is another way of looking at it and that makes sense but they atleast should get a life sentence
No
I do think they have commited human trafficking but it just clicked on me that maybe they didn't so the comment is edited
