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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
Anyone still on Twitter at this point for whatever their reasons, have to recognize what group they are in.
Sadly my local emergency services still uses them to let the community know what’s going on. Denver PD is still doing a good job updating their page and I wish they would move to Mastodon here sooner rather then later
You could suggest to connect their Xitter to a mastodon server so it automaticaly forward posts (crosspost), could be a good thing for a first move!
Yeah, I've seen people complain about bots on mastodon but generally I'm all for it. Especially for accounts that you don't interact with too much but more-so just want updates from.
Looking at my twitter feed it's immediately obvious what group I'm in; Gays. Gays everywhere.
It's not that easy for a lot of users. People created a network on it and they can't change so easily as theirs jobs depends on these networks.
That is true and is something those in control of these sorts centralized social media services count on. Why Reddit was so cocky about the impact of the protest just blowing over. Sort of did. We the people feed the powerful and cannot stop.
I was thinking about researcher and research. A lot of people working in these fields and people interested in these fields can't move to somewhere else. They would change but it's really hard and everyone has to move.
The way things are going they are not going to have much of a choice.
Yep, if you have a Twitter account you're a Nazi. Full Stop.
"If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there with him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."
My Mom told me I couldn't have a second helping of ice cream, she's LITERALLY Hitler!
Like buying a Tesla at this point. You're a Nazi cunt if you do so 🤷
Commenters will be seething against Elon Musk while simultaneously using his platform for 4+ hours a day and still pretend they're good people.
Damn, TIL I became a Nazi when I first visited my grandparents as a child. Thanks for letting me know, at least I can lean into it now. /s
