News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I am not an american despite my username.
And this $250 is going to be above an already expensive and painful visa process. And there are countries which are visa-less for certain country passports. I can bet that a tourist visa for the U.S is going to be among the top of the ranks of most expensive visas with the introduction of this "Visa-integrity" fee.
I could go to dozens of countries without having to get a visa, and plenty of other countries have visa which is actually worth the money than the dictator wannabes.
So no, If people can't fork up $250 it doesn't mean they shouldn't be vacationing in foreign countries. That's just you being ignorant while accusing me of being uneducated and American.
Eskimo is pretty racist btw. Please stay out of my country. We don’t need any more racists. we have plenty.
you're coming off as being desperate to get offended here. I didn't give any thought to this username and I didn't realize it is apparently racist until our interaction. I just mixed two words for a username that weren't obviously bad.
I’m desperate to get offended because you’re using a term that is wildly culturally insensitive? You sound even more racist now. A person who was not racist would never keep a username like this. I highly doubt that in the two years you’ve had this account no one on lemmy has pointed this out to you.
I was ignorant and it's not obvious this is racist as I am not american so fuck me i guess?
To my knowledge this is the first time some has said that this is racist. I will try to go back and find if someone mentioned this as racist. People have talked to me assuming I am american but that was expected.
