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.

Starship launch tomorrow though, wouldn't want to miss out on hype because of something titled "Elon Musk's Starship Rocket" etc... I'm a big space nerd and while Elon is a dork this rocket will be a massive leap for everything space related if it works out.
Fuck X/Twitter though, sick of hearing about it for sure. I've heard rumours that SpaceX only does as well as they do because they have Shotwell running the show and they have Elon wranglers to keep him away from anything important...
Thanks for sharing. Feel free to blame Musk. He’s the one who renamed it to X, which is impossible to filter out.
You could filter out Twitter and realistically filter out a large chunk of them. Shit's usually referred to "X, formerly known as Twitter..." in most posts I see.
Could just make a lemmy-wide rule to always deadname it in post titles. But good luck with that since people still won’t put it all in enoughmuskspam.
Pretty much, that’s my policy anyway. People still tweet there too, none of this “posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.” Fucker trying to use up more characters everywhere.
There's no such thing as a lemmy-wide rule
No shit, dumbass, I meant a voluntary one, not one enforced by programmatic rules.
Why so mean?
Some of you are just too exhausting and don’t use your brains before correcting people.
Maybe you should use yours to specify before you post? Communication goes both ways, if you frequently encounter this problem then you're likely to be the issue.
I don’t frequently encounter it myself, I read it entirely too much on others’ posts. The context clue provided was saying good luck with it since people still won’t put all Musk posts in enoughmuskspam. There’s no lemmy-wide rule about that either. Now beat it, stop bothering me with your nonsense.
I only reply when you do mate
(Ok, now I'm just being petty... I'll stop haha)
You chose to reply and the last two times you chose to ask dumb questions which imply that you want a response, so I provided them. Enjoy this block, that’ll take care of it from my end.
You responded to a rhetorical question and yet you call me dumb?
Oh shit, I replied to this guy again lol
Meaning?
I got the exact same reply from someone last week, not exactly a discussion starter. So I was curious and sure enough it's the same guy!
However you did edit in some context here and indeed that's the problem with trying to filter out a single letter keyword... Though I doubt Elon had the sense to do it intentionally.
I also quote Bartles & Jaymes on occasion.
edit: the funny part here is that I haven’t said “Thanks for sharing” that much, it’s fairly new. And I don’t remember usernames, so the fact you’ve gotten it twice already is special.
Right? Maybe you've been inspired to do so by my rambling comment style. Which itself may be inspired by the fact that I'm drinking beer in the bath.
