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.

LMAO you really spinned this as being “good” for homosexuals? You are talking about the party that literally was the main opponent against legalizing gay marriage in Switzerland with disgusting add campaigns.
They are also totally xenophobic and populist like you acuse them of the people that they are trying to prevent from entering the country.
Switzerland 100% relies on immigration, so much so that during Covid they couldn’t close their borders at all otherwise hospitals would have no workers. But they only (mostly) complain about the “bad immigrants” which you can very easily distinguish based on the skin tone like that family guy meme.
As an immigrant living here this was disgusting.
Islam is only 5% of the population's religious demographic. Considering around 20% of the country's population is immigrant families, that means the majority of immigrants aren't even Muslim. So this party is entirely about fearmongering.
Thanks for completely ignoring the fact that 4x more Palestinians have died, that civilians are the ones losing out, and more Jews than ever are murdering and displacing whole communities in the West Bank due to their god telling them it belongs to them. Oh, and this is with the support of Israel and the IDF.
Keep it civil.
How was the comment he replied to painting all Muslims as bent on destroying society any better? Is it better because it's against an entire religion of people?
The comment that was removed was abusive to another user, not simply expressing an unpopular opinion.
So racist screeds are okay if you’re not referring to a specific user?
Or advocating violence or genocide. People are allowed to be wrong, downvote them, block them, call them out on their bullshit, all that is fine, just don't be vicious about it.
In this case, as unpopular as the OG post was, nobody reported it either. The personal attack WAS reported and dealt with.
So, it's civil as long as it's hate speech against a group?
People are free to express opinions on the topic at hand, that's what the up and down votes are for.
Heaping abuse on other users is not allowed. Attempting to abuse a mod results in a ban.
That's weird, is the topic at hand "all Muslims are antisemites," or did a user add that as a topic?
The OG comment, while offensive, doesn't rise to the level of removable. The downvotes are doing their job.
The comments removed were personal attacks on another user which is 100% not allowed. Further, the banned user at the same time was making multiple attacks in other communities. Nothing of value was lost here.
You have a right here to not be attacked, you don't have a right to not be offended. :)
I am a mod here and you are now banned for life.
Lol power tripping mods, just like the old Reddit days. "Don't you know who I am? I'm a heckin moderino!"
If someone is dumb enough to tell a mod "fuck you, you have no power here", well, it's never going to get any better after that. Nothing else to do.
You should switch your profile pic to Johnny Ramone, Joey would be ashamed of the shit you are saying.
Oh jesus you're literally just copy pasting your islamophobic disinformation. Can nazis be any more flangrantly obvious?
"Now I'm a leftist, but [insert bigoted far right opinion]" is SO overdone. And to copy and paste it everywhere? God its pathetic.
🤡
You don't personally know any muslim?
