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 will come in handy when he's arrested and we use his wealth to cure poverty, homelessness, and hunger around the globe.

What's worth more to our species survival?

One ketamine addicted pants wetting Botox infused South African Nazi with a fragile ego...

Or....

The entire world going to sleep with a roof over their head, a full stomach, and a chance at a better life.

Take as long as you need.

If you see a trillionaire there is only one moral thing to do, and its not even close

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 23 points 3 months ago

Agreed. This is economic cancer and must be removed. Arrest him ... seize the wealth.

putin is likely the only true trillionaire out there that is not entirely in investments.

Don't discount the Saudis. They don't have wealth, they have a wealth faucet.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I don’t normally encourage some acts.

We have a chance to set a great precedent here.

Ask the French, they have a good example from 1792.

[–] ozymandias@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

note that the tesla car company and shareholders could’ve just ended poverty and homelessness themselves but didn’t.
also he’s the biggest shareholder so that’s neat.

His wealth only exists because his companies are way over valued. If he's being arrested, those companies have likely already failed and his wealth with them.
