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.

Lol they said that and my first thought was, "what, is there a risk of some billionaire CEO bursting into the courtroom to exact revenge?"

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago (2 children)

absolutely not. The federal charges have the death penalty attached.

Remember, the rich fucks need this to end. They certainly don't want us getting ideas. And the fastest way to do that would be to have him wind up dead before they can drag his name through the mud in a show trial. that would turn him into a martyr.

Killing this guy is a very good way to piss off a lot of poor people who like him. The rich fucks need this to end in a relatively short prison sentence

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

he's gonna get eptsteined after the convictions blow over

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, it just takes one unhinged rich dude to not think for a second, and I can count many years of combined thoughtlessness from just one idiot alone.

At this point, Musk sending his kid into the courtroom in a bomb vest probably isn’t off the table.

[–] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He should complain that the vest is restrictive and that he can't breathe.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com -2 points 1 year ago

Great idea, cry wolf so that people who really can't breathe are ignored.

His estate is rich enough to hire a hitman... Not that I think it would happen also not that I think that their precautions would prevent that...

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It doesn't even need to be his estate. UHC could easily do it

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

They prefer the more indirect method of killing people

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

There could be interests making him a martyr of some kind, so CEOs will protect him.

You never know . When your rich and famous you can do whatever you want
