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.

And everyone driving a Volkswagen is a nazi then too? If you support burning teslas, you must also support burning those

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Not sure if you noticed, but it's 2025, not 1938. Yeah, Volkswagon fucked up by supporting Nazis almost a century ago. The Tesla thing is happening NOW. Volkswagon is not the same company it was almost a century ago, just like I'm sure Tesla won't be the same company almost a century from now, when the fucking Nazi that runs it is dead. Volkswagon is also highly responsible for the much, much safer 3-point seatbelt being standardized. So they've made positive contributions.

Well that's a moronic argument

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

It's not moronic, you are literally suggesting burning random people's cars because the manufacturer is a nazi. I pointed out another example of such a manufacturer, and you have a problem with it.

Or if you want to be like that, how about just all classical voltswagons.

It’s not moronic

It is, because the arrow of time moves forward and you're talking about a company a century ago vs. now as if literally nothing has changed about that company or the rest of the world around it in that time.

If it was 1938 right now, I'd be advocating burning the fuck out of Volkswagons. It makes literally no sense to do that now.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 10 months ago

So you suddenly care about the passage of time when it isn't about how people bought them before musk went full nazi?

[–] void_turtle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The CEO of Volkswagon isn't currently doing a fascist coup you fucking moron

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're arguing with someone too dumb to realize the 1930's and 2020's are two different time periods with entirely different sets of human beings.

Their argument is the definition of dogshit.

[–] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

The idea that we should destroy electric cars is dogshit. You guys want to set electrification back half a decade.
