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.

We're not supposed to celebrate death or violence.
In unrelated matters, I just want to say that I'm really enjoying Lemmy's m/music community today, y'all should check them out!
Edit: ITT: a lot of people who haven't checked out https://lemmy.world/c/music?dataType=Post&sort=New
Hey man, nice shot!
Such a banger song.
I will always celebrate the death of terrorists that target civilians. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism.
!music@lemmy.world for people who'd like an instance-agnostic link. Idk of a way to specify the sort using this method tho.
I'm not celebrating anything. I don't wish anybody to die, but I certainly won't get dressed to go to everybody's funeral.
cough. Yeah, go check out m/music on Lemmy.
You don't tell me what I'm supposed to do!
Yeah seriously. I’m not that attached to this account. I’ll celebrate whatever I want. I simply don’t want to celebrate violence but not because of some fucking hand wringing rule.
Ohhh the wu tang post. Chef’s kiss.
Far too subtle for lemmykins.
I think we could use some more opening statements though.
ObscureMusic (https://sopuli.xyz/c/obscuremusic@piefed.social) has been doing pretty good job, I celebrate posts there all the time. :)
Why are we not supposed to celebrate death?
Because it can be used as an excuse for governments, corporations, or deranged people to target the instances that host us, and the people who run those instances.
For celebrating violence, maybe.
Not for celebrating death.
yeah but i'm done being dishonest
