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.

Evil has found a wonderful home here in the United States. It sickens me that these are the people I call fellow Americans.

Fucking ghouls

[–] chrisbit@leminal.space 38 points 1 year ago

How anyone can take issue with calling this government 'fascist' is beyond me.

What the actual fuck. Who thinks like this? Psychopaths

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just do not understand the reveling in cruelty.

Even if you believe America should be totally cleared of people there illegally, enjoying their suffering is just insane.

Of course, plenty of them don't want America to be cleared of them, because they wouldn't be able to hate them and enjoy their suffering. Which is what they really want.

The top down cruelty is most likely an attempt to dehumanize these folks, probably because Americans are broadly fucking bizarre in that they will vote to fuck people over but would be willing to die for said people on a personal level. Dehumanizing folks is the best way to buffer that tendency from kicking in and causing trouble for them.

A new low every ~~hour~~ minute.

I personally prefer ASMR of the quiet swishing of a national razor when I'm looking to focus my brain. It makes me think happy thoughts about the current administration.

What the fuck. What the actual fuck.

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

This is so absolutely disturbing.

[–] subignition@fedia.io 7 points 1 year ago

Never thought I'd be wishing hell was real. This is evil.

That's a short flight to Canada

Question, ICE says they're deporting only "dangerous" illegal immigrants. Is this true?
