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.

We need to start calling it “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” I know it’s a few extra syllables, but if we can adopt that language and the press can adopt it, then we can press these fucking idiots on which part of it they find criminal.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

It also makes it obvious how stupid a phrase like "do DEI" is.

This is also why I was never a fan of the Antifa abbreviation. If you're gonna say you're anti-anti-fascist, I want you to fully say it.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

They'll just argue that whatever we name it, its name is unrelated to what it actually does. I can easily see them saying "Just because you call it Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, doesn't mean it actually does those things."

"Criminally Investigate"

Investigate in a criminal manner

Yes, sounds about right.

Pinkman: You don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a criminal lawyer.

Rudy should've called Saul.

The Pinkertons have entered the chat.

So your going to file charges against companies if they adhere to something that had been law/government policy for the last decade or more? I would love to hear exactly what charges you're planning on filing...

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doesn't matter. If they have a sympathetic court, they can convict on anything.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The charge? You very much hurt my feelings and I'm forever butthurt over you being decent to others, that's the charge!

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

“I can hurt your feelings, but you can’t hurt mine”.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

They are claiming that DEI is discriminatory.

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

This is a level of shit that despotic African nations don't sink to.

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

This inherently conflicts with Trump's instruction to challenge anti-christian bias.

The memo, headed with the subject line “ENDING ILLEGAL DEI AND DEIA DISCRIMINATION AND PREFERENCES,”

Ofcourse its in full caps... just like his silly tweets.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

that has to be a stage name, right?

[–] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This sounds... Efficient?
