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.
Man, to think that $260M could've been used in so many better ways to benefit society... Yet was instead used by a power-hungry billionaire to "contribute" to that POS
It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
Will nobody rid me of this troublesome mollusk?
Lmao is this the norm now? We just write this shit on the traceable Internet? Forever archived?
Like the owner of Twitter who wrote about how no one took a shot at Biden?
... Jfc.. you're right. I've lamented it for years nonetheless. I guess I'm actually thinking "are people really saying this about the team that will actually use Prism (remember that whole govt access to internet thing?) to hunt down threats to their agenda? "
If enough people write about it on the internet, they will never find the one who does the killing.
Remember being scared to text your weed dealer? Was the FBI never a real thing?!
I won't ever let him live those words down. Why should he?
Anyone who thought or for some reason still thinks that Ginsberg and Trump align is an idiot. @ me, you're an idiot.
Ginsberg had a specific and nuanced legal argument that essentially came down to, a law should be passed to clarify the right to abortion. Ginsberg was pro choice. However as a judge and Supreme Court Justice she had a specific and nuanced opinion, but ultimately believed Roe v Wade provided the correct answer, but how it got there did have some shakey legal ground.
What is with this @me thing I keep seeing?
Spawns from Twitter initially, but it basically means "say it to my face."
For instance:
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world Your mother was a hamster.
My cousin is a lawyer and that was his view as well. Framing it as a privacy issue is pretty shaky, and we need to just pass laws for it.
Now there's a CEO to get that United treatment.
Surprised Boeing hasn't tried yet either.
