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.

Alright, I came in with a good faith answer about how the English language is used, and you started absolutely shitting your pants en Français, so apparently you're not interested in any sort of discourse, you came here to argue, so let's fucking go.
The balls you have to have to call me a "colonizer" is fucking insane. Are you fucking kidding me? You're literally French, look in the goddamn mirror. Remember those Haitians you were talking about, the ones that liberates themselves? Liberated themselves from who, motherfucker? Dit bonjour aux esclavagistes pour moi.
I don't know why you've immediately perceived me as an enemy, I hate the orange fuck more than you do. Sure, American foreign policy may have an effect on you, but it's nothing like American domestic policy. I have to deal with my tax dollars being spent on bullshit wars. I have to deal with grocery prices nearly doubling in a matter of 2 years due to dumbfuck tariffs. ICE is shooting people in the street, and the military is bombing schools overseas.
I am not your enemy, I do what I can to resist the regime, but I have to survive. There are few good choices here. I cannot throw my life away to accomplish nothing. Far-right extremism is on the rise across the Western world; I hope you remember how you treated us when Le Pen wins and you're trying to fight the good fight.
Lol, I speak french so I have to be from France, of course. Bravo. Gosh people like you have such a narrow understanding of the world, Why don't you guys just focus on not being a threat to the survival of humanity and not giving the nuclear code to a pedo-fascist for a start? Then we can have discussion on your entitlement to rename ocean and appropriate historical elements. And I'm sure your mid-terms will be another great lesson of democracy, in the land of the free.
