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.

I don't use any service or product owned or operated from within the United States since your dictator threatened annexation of my country. So no, I don't use any of that predatory shit that comes from your country. I rarely used it prior to this because it's terrible for workers and I don't live in a city or where people seem to want/need those sorts of things..even if I did I would avoid them. Now it's gone well beyond just avoiding.

As to my government, no I'm not always happy with their decisions but for the most part they are democratic and when not I speak up however I feel is necessary within the situation. You?

Ok. So even though you don't support some things your government does, it's everyone's moral duty to blame and punish you for it.
Understood. Good day sir.

Your regime is threatening the sovereignty of my nation and none of you are doing fuck all to oppose it. That means you've chosen your fate. I will not assume otherwise until proven wrong.

I was gonna save the day but you're kind of a jerk so enjoy what's coming.

Check out this video.
It explains why you can pretty reliably bet whatever Trump says isn't what he'll actually do.
Hopefully it's help you calm down a little. Or it may make things worse.

What fate have I chosen?
Is Canada planing a preemptive attack against the US!?
I'll need some popcorn. The view from New Mexico will be great.

Man honestly what do you expect for someone like my friend, who I pick up and ride to/from work every day when there's random odd ball days I leave early or am off?

The literal only option to get home sometimes where we're at is to use something like Uber or lyft.

He busses when he can but they can be incredibly unreliable in our city and the state is slashing our budget and 50% of bus routes will be cancelled next year, including the one from work.

Hate to break it to you but literally none of this has to do with trump. Some people are just poor and need to rely on services like wtf are you even on about

People's lives are terrible because of corporate greed now propped up by fascism. Keep supporting it and nothing changes. Enjoy slavery and have a wonderful day.
