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, 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.

Why do I need to come up with reasons why someone who says they love Hitler doesn't actually love Hitler?
You dont need to come up with anything. A thought can be unresolved in your head. Its usually the more accurate representation of reality. Accept the lack of information for his motivation to say ridiculous things.
Elon has never announced his motivation for giving a Nazi salute. Should I reserve my judgment there as well?
He didnt even admit he did. Are we taking people at their word or not?
Elon did a nazi salute. Do i think he embodies nazi ideals?
Hmm get ready: I dont know what Elon thinks.
Does that pain you?
No, your sealioning doesn't pain me.
If you think im asking you for evidence in a trolling manner then you arent able to see the point.
There is no evidence and these are our perception of these public figures with little to no information. Accepting that versus extrapolating to come to some extra conclusion and trying to coach other people to do the same is how you cause mass misconception by reinforcing shit ways to validate beliefs in the disinformation age.
Get over your complex of needing to resolve incomplete information. People should educate themselves and not seek common denominator drivel in an effort to feel informed.
Its not enabling anyone to say i dont actually know if elon has nazi ideals. Its perfectly fine to hold that belief and tell people its your belief... but shitting on people for not agreeing with how things appear is... fishy...
No, I think you're sealioning.
"Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter."
Okay, you've got me there. You stopped maintaining any pretense of civility when you realized I was not going to indulge your "we can't tell for sure if Elon is a Nazi just because of all the Nazi things he does and supports" nonsense. Then you started getting outright hostile.
Whatever squid.
Your modus operandi to bring awareness on this site is at odds with itself and you are going to spin in circles in the echo chamber until you grow up.
Ah, you're now telling me things I didn't know about myself in two threads.
That's my modus operandi? When did that become my modus operandi? Can I have a date, please? I'd like to note it down somewhere.
Excuse the assumption that your motivations are in good faith and not self-centered pursuit of praise in the form of points to justify the other 8 hrs a day you arent shitposting.
Oh, that's what I'm doing! Thanks for letting me know all of that, it's all totally new to me.
Do tell me more about myself!
I cant actually read your posts on the sync app at this stage, as the text columns are a letter long, so ill accept your apology (i think thats what i says) and just hope you will try to be better.
