Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

"I want this place that is designed exactly like reddit to be nothing like reddit."

Let me know how that works out for you.

Well then why are you even here if Reddit already exists?

Because it's decentralized and part of the fediverse. Why are you here?

Looking for a better community/group of communities than Reddit.

The community that reddit has isn't just a coincidence. It comes out of the design of the platform itself. Giving everybody the ability to post and vote encourages groupthink and clickbait.
