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.

Imagine if this stroke would spend millions to actually help society.

He could be a legendary benefactor whose name will be remembered for centuries. Just by building libraries, hospitals etc. Funding research on diseases.

Instead he wants to be evil tony stark from Temu.

Discussed this with my girlfriend as we played the lottery to win 60 million. With that money I would set up a trust with the intention to help as many people as I can. This fucker has a factorial more than 60 million and he is literally shitting on everyone.

Truly speaks volumes on him.

If Russia would do this then it is an oligarchy but when the United States of Tangerine does it then it is democracy. Western double standards at their best.

What are you talking about? There is a literal "Stop Oligarchs" Tour going on right now.

Musk offered 1 million a day for voters in swing states. Trump won easily. I do not see that in the majority of the population.

Elon Musk is the democratic equivalent of telling your friends the stripper really likes you

So when will Elmo finally go to jail?

With the way things are going now? When he stops by to see if his enemies are suffering enough.

BE Well, we already know he purchased a presidency so no surprise here.

I am aware that journalism is tight with money. But they should hire someone who can write a text with less errors IMHO.
