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.

I hate what America is right now

Ah, so what chapter was your favorite? Was it the genocide of 90 million Native American, Indians, indigenous folks? Or maybe the slavery era? Or better yet, maybe the Jim Crow Era? Oh and how can I forget the mass incarceration era?

.... Pure liberalism.

slavery era

Hold on now, they still do that.

My favorite part was the momentum we have had combatting those things and trying to ensure they never happen again and all of the Americans who have given their bodies lives flesh and blood in sacrifice to change those things. America isn’t one single person it’s a throng of insanity and there are a lot of people who fight against the tide of horror seeking to form a more just and perfect union and then there are a shitload of Nazis.

Where are you from? Everyone wants to play this gotcha card like America is the only imperialist nation that has ever existed or somehow the only nation in the world that commits atrocities.

If you really want to know my favorite part has been the mass waking up to history that has recently caused an absolute violent and fascist crackdown almost completely destroying America. So the funny thing is you will probably get your wish but you’re not gonna like it.

What’s your countries history? Fuck I don’t even like this place but I’m not so stupid to think my hands are clean or yours are for that matter.

momentum in combatting

Trying to ensure

Ah, so just vibes. Ight. The point of a system is what it does. You can keep huffing your civil religion till the cows come home.
