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.

And St Patrick's Day is more of an America and Ireland thing. It's certainly not British.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I never said it was British. What the fuck?

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Op said British Day or Mexican Day parade and you responded with St Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

OP also asked if there were any other country-focused parades out there. That's the part I was responding to.

Latching onto the wrong part of the comment to miscontextualize my response is a bad faith argument.

It's not bad faith, you just made an unfortunate choice of example. It's ok you can just say that wasn't your intention and everyone moves on. Oops lol hehe etc.

What? There have been a couple users who responded with good faith arguments, and I engaged with them in good faith.

There were also some who didn't, and why would I waste my time trying with those?

It's good faith to notice you chose the same country for example A and two neighboring countries for example B, unless you're saying you chose the objectively two best possible examples or something.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

I wouldn't call it the objectively best, just the first two fitting examples that came to mind.

In fact, I'd phrase it more like this:

OP also asked if there were any other country-focused parades out there. That's the part I was responding to.

So a response to your comment that was poorly phrased is a bad faith argument? Give me a break.
