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.

Other people are saying they should.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They really should because it's a part of life that exists, but they aren't. In fact, they're criminalizing being or mentioning transgenderism

because it’s a part of life that exists

Interesting reasoning. Wouldn't this make it so that anything is acceptable?

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Allowing people to exist is quite a bit different than a curriculum. There is no “trans 101” lesson, this is about censoring people’s identities. This is about punishment, not education.

You’re being obtuse, and we’re all aware of that. We know exactly where you stand. Just say you hate people that are different from you and want them to not exist or be hurt because of it, we know that’s the only point you’re trying to make.

You didn't address the question and you're incorrect about your assumptions.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It would not, as basic logic is allowed to come into play rather just assuming that allowing trans people to exist extends to whatever the fuck you’re implying will come of it.

Just say it.

[–] jefferyjefferson@lemmy.org -5 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

It's fine if you're unable to admit when you're wrong.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It’s not fine to be a bigot.

Just say it.

Ok.

I’m judging you.

"Many people are saying..."

Bro, get this Trumpian rhetoric outta here.
