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.
-
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.

Maybe this is the result of all the cuts to mental health services :/
I remember when Abbott's government cut the budget for mental health and within around a month it seemed like the homeless population in the CBD doubled.
Media contagion. People on the edge see news coverage about an event and "get inspired" by it.
A classic example of media contagion is how after wall-to-wall coverage of Curt Cobain's death suicides spiked. This led media organizations to police themselves when it comes to how they report on suicides. Those guidelines still exist and are (usually) voluntarily adhered to.
There are solid arguments (and ongoing research) into media contagion driving mass shootings and other acts of violence. In fact, it is widely cited as the reason why people who wanted to commit public attacks switched from bombings to shootings after the media coverage of the Columbine shooting.
Stabbings, clearly.
Knife control now!
0 deaths, because he didn't have access to firearms.
Ima guess poverty on the rise sinec they have decent access to mental health care
Hah decent access, good one mate.
There isn't a healthcare system in the world that can cure "driven to murder multiple people". The pro-gun community blames "mental health" not because it's the root cause but because it will take 100 years to fix.
After 20 years of scapegoating things they find undesirable (like video games, gay marriage and music), they've finally blamed a few things that are at least contributing to the problem but ultimately they're being just as dishonest as they've always been.
Most studies show lowering poverty and providing easy access to mental health as the two driving factors in preventing violent crime
Did those studies use prison populations?
While poverty and mental health problems can contribute to violence, they're not the answer alone. Patients in a psych ward have 24 hour mental healthcare and it doesn't magically cure violence.
Hmmm rename to Stabney ?
Too soon

This seems to be religious motivated
Well yeah a priest getting stabbed to death .. he probably had it coming for SOME reason 🫠
