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 don't think he cares what mere millionaires think of him.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 26 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Dude bought Twitter just to ban randos from speaking bad about him.

He is thin skinned little shit

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He is a little shit, but come on purchasing Twitter was textbook fascism media control. Far more than just petty reputation protection. This was a major power grab.

Yea, but idiots feel better when they think the people dismantling society are all secretly miserable and are only doing the things they do because they have hurt feelings, rather than being a part of a coordinated effort to consolidate of power into the hands of the wealthy and getting everything they ever wanted.

He bought twitter to punish his trans daughter for being trans because he thought twitter radicalized her.

I don't think it was that personal. I think he only wanted to get rid of a massively popular leftist space.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That’s sounding pretty personal.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is it? He wasn't hiding his intentions. Even some of his private messages with Jack Dorsey alluded to the platform being overrun by the left.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Again: he’s taking the left personal. This is all just proving my point that he’s a snowflake.

[–] darvocet 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh i think you'd be surprised and he cares very much

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

He likes to pretend he's not a fragile little bitch, but his need to be adored is so transparent

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 months ago

He cares what people think in general. His need for validation is more voracious than his need for ketamine. Grimes could twist this knife and make him cry.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Then why did he buy Twitter
