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.

Not demoralized enough...
My company counts Flock among our customers. Well, not really: they only bought one thing from us some years ago. But what they bought failed a few months ago, and I've had to deal with one of their employees for technical support: the guy was probably among the most arrogant customer employees I've had to deal with professionally.
Considering who he works for, I had to make a real effort to stay courteous and professional with him, let me tell you...
Dox him on his "local" boards i.e. NextDoor, Facebook groups, etc.
Nazis and fascists don't deserve privacy.
Edit: frongt@lemmy.zip feels strongly that Nazis and fascists deserve privacy. Brave.
No way. I like my job.
I dont mean to call you out, but are you proud of your "annoyed but politely compliant" response to actively being part of a supply chain for surveillance tech? Based solely on this post, your distaste comes off somewhat disingenuous if it doesn't affect your actions in any meaningful way
It's called being professional. What do you expect me to do on the job? Take the initiative and insult a customer because I don't like them? That's a surefire way to get the sack.
If being a professional means providing no resistance while building the machinery of fascism, are you proud of that? Standing by your principles is not free, I get that. Pretending you care about said principles while actively spending your productive time working against those principles is not the kind of thing I'd be bragging about in an online leftist community though. Real "just following orders" energy
You assume there are no other ways to fight fascism than to jeopardize one's ability to pay the bills.
As it happens, I'm quite senior at my company, and I think I've pretty much convinced sales to drop this customer, should they ever order anything else, on the grounds that they're quite toxic and we really don't want to be associated with them.
So there ya go: I still have my job and they most likely lost a supplier.
Brother, you don't even know the nature of the deal his employer has with Flock. For all you know Flock just bought some gravel from him for a driveway, calm down. People got bills to pay, and you can't fight fascism on an empty stomach.
Lemmy World isn't really a "leftist" community. It's left-leaning, if you're being generous.
