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.

"Look I murdered your son like a decade ago. If he were still alive he'd be old enough to drink at this point, let's just drop the charges and accept that life goes on.... just not for your son..."

They aren't getting their special district back, so might as well really.

[–] FiendishFork@artemis.camp 3 points 2 years ago

Iirc the special district still exists, Desantis tried to get rid of it initially but backed out of that plan because it would have shifted financial burden to the counties where it’s located. Instead Florida passed a law changing it so Desantis could appoint the board and renamed the district.

I bet trump is feeling about the same right now.

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

He sure was brave until he had to sit in-front of a judge

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

Fuck you, DeSantis.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

SO if someone hypothetically shot DeSantis in the back, it'll be fine and there will be no consequences once they've 'moved on'

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

DeSantis you are a piece of work. You decide to attack Disney ruthlessly over and over again and now all is good? I don't think so Nazi.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Classic bully behavior.

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

The guy should be a comedian because I almost shit myself laughing at this, ahahaha!

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Sounds like his team finally convinced him that this is a losing fight.

[–] kbity@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

What an idiot. The Mouse does not forgive. The Mouse does not forget. DeSantis can't surely believe Disney are just going to give up and walk away after he threw down the gauntlet.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Oh he flinched.

What a flip flopper!

[–] donuts@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Totally bitchmade, as usual.
