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, 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.

Just wait until they start banning porn. It's already started in some states tbh.

Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn't win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yup. That’s the next step. Rip smut.

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What's the rationale behind this? Is it just pandering to religious freaks, or something else?

[–] EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My guess is that it's a step towards banning anything considered "sexual" or "deviant." I.e., anything to do with LGBTQ people, sex ed, educating women about their bodies and rights, etc. Anything that the white patriarchy dislikes while also making it easier to subjugate the population through ignorance and propaganda.

My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.”

Which is just a step toward banning anything that doesn't "glorify our dear leader."

Which leads to uninformed teenagers becoming pregnant, being forced to carry the child, and being stuck in poverty and ignorance for the rest of their lives as a result. This gives us uneducated workers and soldiers.

Every live baby is a potential dead soldier. And the more education is destroyed the more popular that path will be.

Is it just pandering to religious freaks,

That and increasing their authorization grip on society.

[–] KalSeth@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well I am totally bored of the step brother genre.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you’re bored of the same old, check out aliens, ware wolves, vampires and other species.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

ware wolves

Like wolves selling knives door to door or more like a flea market run by wolves?

[–] VampirePenguin@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Get it, flea market? I crack myself up sometimes.

I'm replying twice to the same comment but it just jogged a memory of porn I used to have on DVD of a bunch of random shit and one of the scenes it was a woman and two guys but the guys were painted green and they had green pterodactyl heads and wings.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They literally can’t ban porn unless you turn off the whole internet.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

In my day we made do with porn we found in a box in the woods.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That doesn't mean they won't try.

We are talking about a group of people that has banned PLANTS.
