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.

What I am not surprised about, at all, is that all the "don't vote for her" people like yourself (apparently) are now claiming they are not in any way responsible for a fascist getting elected. It's everyone else's fault, but the person who literally said to not vote for the only other option than the fascist shares none of the blame.

And if that isn't you, you're defending people who share the blame. Which, I would say, falls into the camp of 'pathetic' as well.

Nah man, fascism is already here. If you, me, and the rest of the Democrats were willing to tolerate a genocide to keep a system enabling a genocide, then it can't be denied. We weren't delaying fascism, we just weren't the current target of it and because of that, you couldn't see it. We're all fucked but it's because of these exact attitudes that allowed dehumanization to be accepted.

I'm sorry... did you just suggest that queer and brown people deserve to be victims of a genocide because of Democrats?

[–] WanderingVentra@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What, no? Well, as much as you're saying that Palestinians deserve to be victims of a genocide to protect LGBTQ people. Brown people are already being genocided btw.

Oh come on, Harris lost by a larger margin of all the Arab American voters combined. It’s foolish to blame her losing on this one community (who voted for her anyway). The community is suffering and you decide to add insult to this injury, as if we somehow were responsible and not the 70 million Trump voters.

Interesting how you decided I was talking about Muslim-Americans in one post and Arab-Americans in another post even though I was talking about neither group.

Also interesting how you seem to think Arab = Muslim and Muslim = Arab.

[–] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. You said “people like yourself” and I was responding to that. You have no idea whether I’m Arab or not, and you may have inferred I’m Muslim because of my name or posting history, but you’re the one treating the groups as the same for this topic.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

you’re the one treating the groups as the same for this topic.

Yet again, I'm still not talking about Muslim-Americans or Arab-Americans. So no, no I'm not. Because neither group is who I was talking about.

I know you want me to be talking about them, but I'm still not.
