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.

Don’t worry. We never had free speech. Here, watch: kill Trump and save us all. Ban in 3, 2, 1…
You do know that freedom of speech protects you from government sanctions for speech, right? Last I checked the Fediverse wasn't the government. So the moderators and admins here are free to say: "we don't want you here" and ban you and nobodies freedom of speech was hurt.
Private organisations could always exclude you from their premise, same as you are free to exclude them from your premise. That's called house rules.
Yeah and I can just go get another account like I do every week or so. So it doesn’t matter what the RuLeS are.
Ah, so you knowingly lied in the other comment and know what freedom of speech is. Good to know, tagging your current account with liar then.
But I’ll have another account after the ban 🙃 you just love rules more than you hate fascism.
Yeah and even with the new account you still won't be able to comprehend what was written apparently. Words have meanings, you just seem incapable of accepting that. Two times you ignored what I wrote and went on some side tangent, so further discussing with you seems pointless. Have a nice day.
Do you think what you say deserves attention? Because I do not.
And yet you keep replying...
I wouldn’t want to deny them.
So you think what they're saying deserves attention.
Just like you think I deserve attention.
If you consider condescending laughter attention, then sure.
Well, that’s what I was giving them—so I guess you and I are the same.
Your little dopamine squee everytime you get a reaction to your contrarian takes does not make you smart, it makes you an addict.
Well, you’re probably right about that.
Holy shit this guy is cool.
You won't make another account. I labeled you a cuck almost a month ago, and it stands true.
lol what do I do to get Cuck?
Don't remember or care.

Mods must be sleeping…. KILL TRUMP NOW
Well that's just a good and practical idea 🤷
Nah, assassinations tend to have poor political outcomes. It creates martyrs and draws more to follow the cause, while excusing more extreme retribution. Political violence is more effective when targeting the systems that support the oppression.
I'm just hoping for a stroke that gives him locked in syndrome for a few years so he can experience hell on earth in case Dante's hell doesn't exist.
Oh ya, the assassination of the healthcare CEO made that guy a martyr.
Thompson was a supporter and part of the system, not a leader. Background people like him are a crap shoot. They can get lionized or demonized depending on who can get the narrative out better.
This is Lemmy, champ.
How long can we enjoy this era of federated spaces can get away with whatever because they're too small for world governments to give a shit?
I'm guessing until Ai bots can start correlating who is who based on ip and fingerprinting en-masse, but even then, it won't be everybody, and we'd just move to a "use TOR/I2P" suggestion on every instance.
I usually get banned for calling for the death of the fascist Trump… but if the rules have changed, I’m fine with that.
