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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
A man in an orange sweatshirt rushed the stage. He was not in law enforcement, but a Wikipedia contributor on the conference’s “trust and safety team”: Richard Knipel, the City University of New York’s “Wikimedian-in-residence.” He grabbed the gunman from behind.
Another Wikipedian on the trust and safety team, Andrew Lih, had been standing watch in the aisle and charged forward, too.
Wikipedia's "Trust and Safety" team does NOT fuck around!
I think we need trust and safety teams in every neighborhood at this point.
That's usually called the neighborhood watch
It was supposed to be the police, but they only care if you’re wealthy.
The police have always only served the interests of the ruling class.
NYT's title makes it out as if he was going to shoot others. He was going to shoot himself.
No one would read about a suicide
I beg to disagree, it simply says 'avert a tragedy'
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun are good guys who have empathy and a desire to see others live.
Paywall
That just kept getting weirder the further I read
I don't get the idea of deliberately putting people in the jungle where there are no rules or morals or purpose out there... and then getting angry or surprised when they lash out at society.
The reasons someone shouldn't murder you live in society. X, Y, Z are why you don't hurt others, and XYZ don't exist in the jungle.
We should only throw people out that are worth destroying, like Nazis.
