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.

This shareholder says "Bye!" and I'll buy more when the market is done panicking over his departure.

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

While .. not after.

I'll give Tesla a bargain basement deal and take the job for 1% of that, and can guarantee I will be less of an obstacle to improvement.

[–] ApostleO@startrek.website 10 points 2 years ago

Shit, I'd do that job for minimum wage, if only to see Musk fired.

[–] kometes@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Please don't throw me in the briar patch!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 2 years ago

Win win. Don't waste money and get rid of an egotistical loser at the same time.

If all he does is leave, that will be fantastic. More likely he'll just cripple the company in his rage. That's the real reason a lot will vote to pay him.

Were you just made a moderator of c/news, @jeffw? If so, congratulations!

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Moderating a forum isn't really a thing to be proud of or congratulate someone for squid.

"Oh you were just made a moderator? I'm sorry." is more appropriate.

It's true, we do have a lot of thankless work to do (I moderate a bunch of communities), but we also, or at least I do, try to promote community growth and discussion. I sort of view my jobs as much as an ambassador for the community as I am someone who enforces rules.

Didn't he just steal a bunch of GPUs from Tesla for use at Twiter?

I'm sure that another SEC investigation will be done for this and Elon will drag it out for years.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago

Don't threaten me with a good time!

[–] fadhl3y@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

Shareholders: Please don't threaten me with a good time!

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I might buy some stock so I can vote no.
