News
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.

Trumptards took over Clubhouse without the backing from the CEO. It's a collective strategy, and not one man's bigotry
That's pretty crazy. Do you have examples of Reddit admins directly working with Democrat campaigns or politicians to remove content? I don't think Hunter Biden's dick pics count, as revenge porn is already illegal.
Edit: For anyone confused as to how my reply relates to the above post, the above used to be a claim that Reddit worked with democrats to remove content, but is now edited to say something completely different.
I'm confused, what Democrat politicians or campaign staff coordinated removing those communities from Reddit? And why would Democrats even need to? Those communities broke sitewide rules egregiously and frequently. Considering how long they were allowed to keep going, it seems more likely (though I'm sure not the actual case) that Donald Trump's campaign coordinated with Reddit admins to keep The_Donald open.
The difference is that a community of people is downvoting and upvoting content. It’s not one person controlling what you see.
Too much nuance for a 'both sides' person
But also one man's bigotry letting the place become a massive cesspool beyond the cesspool it already was.
The first thing Musk did when he took over is un-ban many of those people. He's since repeatedly banned progressive journalists, added the word "cis" to the hate speech filters, and made numerous other changes to the way the site operates to boost those voices and suppress opposing ones.
He's not the only one to blame, to be sure, but if you think he hasn't been spearheading the effort, you haven't been paying attention. He's been backing them and a whole lot more.
Fuck Musk, but he doesn't deserve all the attention he's given.
I mean, no, he doesn't, but he was getting that attention long before he became openly fascist. And that makes him a huge problem now that he is.
