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.

This article fails to mention that Huffman has previously praised Musk and how he runs Twitter.

https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-blackout-protest-private-ceo-elon-musk-huffman-rcna89700

Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.

More importantly he's a doomsday prepper with fucked up views:

I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.

If I end up on top after the apocalypse I'll go out of my way to get him as a slave.

I planned on catching him for sport, followed by slowly serving him up like kebab to poorer after the apocalypse.

In Hunger Games they usually die swiftly, in this situation he's being kept alive as long as possible.

I have no idea what you’re about but just based on this alone I’d let you share my tire barricade

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 11 months ago

Nice, thanks. Because the only way I'd survive the apocalypse would be as part of a community, I'm not exactly the warlord type. And plenty of people in the thread are on board with the same idea, so I'm fine with sharing spez.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

What a tiny little apocalypse fuckbag. Fuck Spez.

[–] toy_boat_toy_boat@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

YES!! THANK YOU!!

huffman caught whiff of what's happening, and this is just a stupid empty move to stir people up and try to cause chaos. everything that's happening is so that people can manipulate and exploit investments. i got my second (or third? fourth?) permanent ban for bringing it up.. well probably - i don't know because reddit removes the comment it bans you for and doesn't let you see it. so fucking done.

they want something like a 4400 future, if you watched the show basically its the rich/wealthy enclaves in thier perfect city, while outside is like madmax/desolated. add in a little time travelling, superpowers and body possession arcs. i dont think it lasted many seasons.

I might actually loathe him more than Musk.
