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.

I hope not, politics define almost every single moment of our existence. It's like physics, but with more assholes.
I didn’t know you cared.
Says the person who took the bait 😆
Shill*
They consistently parrot russian and chinese talking points under the guise of being objective
They have, in certain places, anyway. They are never alone, either. But i believe it is hyper important to have these conversations in the open. It is important to be aware of who is influencing people towards what ends as well, of course, but we must also be ready to call them out in the commons here along with the methods they use. Theyre much craftier than they were in 2016, presumably bc the left is that much harder to co-opt than the right.
Given the fact that my upvote for u keeps ur comments scores at 1, id say it seems ur lightly paying the price via downvotes now :p
Again, calling attention to the problem helps, imo.
It goes beyond that. Theyre goal is chaos. By convincing the anarkiddies that theyre on to all the problems in the world and throwing in just the right amount of chinese/russian reverence, they are essentially tapping into a huge reserve of (honestly) righteous social disdain. Thats much like how bannon/milo went after the soon to be trumpies thru gamergate. A wealth of social discord waiting to be exploited.
Take note, before the api changes on reddit, leftist subs,
Hardly banned anyone
Did not delete comments
Embraced all leftist positions as open to debate
Largely rejected the (at the time) few anti-voting posts.
Encouraged independent thought over groupthink. This is somehow most important.
This has all changed. Since jumping ship i cant say things look that much better here, but there are genuine leftists here who do care about discourse and not all subs/instances ban u for calling things out for what they are. Nevertheless, heres what things looked like on the darkside at the time of my departure.
Since the api changes, ive been banned for not initially calling out the whole anti vote thing, but for being able to back up my arguments with critical thinking, even from subs like therightcantmeme.
I first noticed it when overnight a bunch of new leftist spaces started popping up and gaining popularity. I mainly remember ultraleft. I took a peak, and it was nothing but tankies circlejerking over not voting with some foreign propaganda thrown in for good measure. They poured all over the other subs which all spammed antivoting garbage. And shit was so vile, like just plain hateful to a very comicbook like extent. And they all ban dissenting opinions!
But the best(worst) was seeing tge, "im new, whats the ancom(or other anarchist affiliation) view on ____?" posts. There was a time when ppl like this were told, in short, to think for themselves on this sort of stuff. Not great for recruitment, but great for independent critical thinkers.
Idk.
