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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Parents really shouldn't be posting videos of their kids on the interment. As someone who occasionally has to sort through applicants at work... yes, we do see these videos. We also see their baby photos and their graduation photos. If that creeps you out... it creeps me out, too.

We all act like everyone else is a stranger and we're alone in the "city" of the internet, but the actual dynamic plays out in a much more "townie" manner. We should act more like inhabitants of a small island where everyone knows each other.

Having literally been an inhabitant of a small island at one point in my life is the exact reason I have no active social media presence that is not pseudonymous. Life is different when you know you might suddenly be recognized by a stranger at the grocery store who saw your public comment on Facebook.

I think we'd be more civil to each other if more of us had that mindset, or any sense that our words reflect on us.

Speaking of work things… A friendly reminder from someone in corporate IT. We can see EVERYTHING you do on our network. So please don’t do anything you don’t want others seeing on your work network.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

.... lol. Yes. And keep it off work devices too, if you have separate cell phones. nobody wants to know. nobody wants to have that conversation.

If you have to say "it's just a prank bro!" to a toddler, you might be an asshole.

Correction: You ~~might be~~ are an asshole.

I'd be surprised if this is a rising trend knowing how the cost of eggs has increased over the last couple of years. Just seems like a terrible waste.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Egg prices went back to normal a while back.
