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.

Yeah I'm going to bed now, hate to say it but it's over. 4 more years of that fucking dipshit and his shenanigans.

Well... looks like we're fleeing the country.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck to you. There is no escape if Trump wins.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's an escape from my daughter being put in a conversion therapy camp. That's my focus now.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Jesus Christ he might even actually have the popular vote.

Dear America: WTF
-sincerely, the rest of the world.

I really didn’t think we had this many Nazis.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I always knew we did, we just never empowered them as blatantly.

What I didn't appreciate is how lazy the non-nazis among us were, I mean, wow.

[–] dank@lemmy.today 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol. At least Gaza is a parking lot now!

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Gaza? Was that an issue?

Sorry, the only people who cared about Gaza are drunk and celebrating in st Petersburg right now.

[–] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe this attitude is why Democrats lost.

Maybe the Democrats should have reached out to independent voters who were concerned about Gaza instead of accusing them all of being Russian agents.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you should really show the democrats how you feel, by voting nazi directly, that will REALLY show them all!

[–] HomerianSymphony@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

And now you're accusing independents of being Nazis. Like that's gonna help.

I mean, I understand. You're just following the example of your party leaders, like when Hillary accused Tulsi Gabbard of being a Russian agent. Like most people, you look to your political leaders to understand the political landscape, and your party really hasn't given you any other example.

One of the functions of political parties is to spread political literacy among the population, and the Democrats and the Republicans both feed you nonsense because they're never going to tell you "the truth is we serve the corporate class, lol".

It's not your fault that they're failing you. But they are failing you. And they're failing America.

I'm not accusing independents of being nazis.

But the idiots who stood divided and let Hitler take power?

Those morons mostly died in Russia, or the bombings.

Why would they bring back the needle? It was the worst thing of all 2016. It’s nothing but provoking anxiety and I can’t even go to the website as a result.
