News
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.
That has no bearing on it. If the sides are uneven, you fight unevenly.
This is something you say when you have no skin in the game.
Oh please, the entire world has skin in this game. The world's most powerful country has been overrun by fascists, and half the people who can stop it before it leaves its borders are too "scawed" to do anything and the other half is rooting for the fascists.
So many cowards with big mouths and big guns sitting at home waiting for the rest of us to straighten out their mess.
Nobody asked you for help. Just pointing out it's easy to ask someone else to become Tank Man.
I'll remember that no one asked for my help. I'll remember that in fact when I offered help I was told to go away and fuck off long before your drumphkins was brought to power twice. I'll remember that you're fascist lovers and refuse to fight for yourselves. I'll remember that you don't need me or my countrymen even when we are in your country volunteering to help. No worries there. I have lots of first hand experience to solidify those memories.
Good luck with that when you really do need us to help because at this rate it's coming faster than you can imagine. You and your countrymen have guaranteed my skills will not be offered to assist nor will those of anyone who will listen to me and people like me and read your comments.
Being a coward is easy. Standing up to fascists is hard. Back to the couch.
Whoa whoa now.... Some of us would love all the help we could get over here.
You brought up a great point. It's not going to stop at our borders..
I've been begging people to do a general strike and explain that they're worried about losing their jobs, but they won't have one when society breaks down or they're in the Gulag.
