A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I don't get it. They KNEW it would happen, they were TOLD it would happen, and yet these two numbnuts show up anyway standing and waving a flag they routinely shit on and surprise surprise they get boo'd.

Why even show up? Just sit your dumbasses down.
