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.

[–] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 38 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yes. They are about to assault their local Dollar General, establish some freedom, and then go home before they are outed for faking fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia: "You cant prove I don't have it!"

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I was with you until the fibromyalgia comment.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just to highlight they were faking fibromyalgia, not insulting it.

[–] yeah@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

But if adds to the general perception of fibro patients as being malingerers and liars which is unpleasant.

Hi I'm a doctor. Yes fibromyalgia is real. Yes it's probably used as a catchall dx for a group of various mental and musculoskeletal conditions. From what I have seen, it's mostly used by malingerers trying to get on disability.

[–] acetanilide@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Getting on disability is the hardest, most humiliating process. You are out of touch if you think there's a ton of people out there malingering, especially just to get on disability.

[–] PlantDadManGuy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ok great, please make more assumptions about my practice and then re-read my statement.
