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.

He is fully entitled to a third, life-term in prison for being a traitor. I hear Epstein's cell is empty.

I used to advocate for a life terms for the top MAGAs. That was after the first term, the Insurrection, and the stolen classified documents. After this second term, capital punishment is on the table.

They should have quit while they were ahead.

Comments like this are what keep getting me banned on Reddit, but I'll keep saying it on every platform:

Pedophiles get the rope. Pedophile protectors can swing alongside them. Insurrectionists and traitors get the firing squad. ICE gets to bleed out slowly.

You know the other name for Pedophile Protectors?

Pedophiles.

I was honestly surprised when I heard the jan 6 people crying about how unfair it is that they got prison. Generally speaking, no matter who's wrong or right, attacking the palace/capitol/whatever tends to end in death.

I got permabanned for REPEATING a comment that I had posted multiple times before without incident. Once Trump was inaugurated, however, I was immediately permabanned.

My comment said something like: "Trump and his henchmen are really lucky we live in such a forgiving country. In most countries, at most times in history, on the evening of a failed coup, the traitors would have been dragged out onto the front lawn of the White House, and publicly executed, every last one of them."

I wasn't saying we should do that, I was saying that they were lucky that we didn't. It was a simple fact, but I was permabanned anyway.
