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.

MODERATORS
His followers don’t think he lost, remember. Most of them still think he’s president.
Sadly, and strangely, this is true. Although, ironically, they’re still voting for him.
They are not voting for a third term president. They’re voting for a forever term dictator.
Yes, but my point is they’re voting for him even though they claim he’s still the president in office. Why are they voting if he never left the office? It’s just weird.
Because they are insane
I'll be voting for Biden even though he is in office. Is that weird, too?
Argh, I badly worded it. Yeah that’s a fair point. It’s semantics.
If not for the ridiculous system and the insistence of the DNC leadership on making sure he's the only alternative to fascism, yes.
Voting for Biden WOULD be very weird if you were not doing it under duress.
But he's still a loser so we have that
There's this thing I've noticed on Facebook, I don't fully understand but they post things Maga really want to be true like 'try that in a small town singer smashes tailor swift attendance record' with an obviously unrelated or fake picture. The comments are almost everyone acting like it's true, there was one about some woke companies share value falling fifty percent with everyone celebrating then once comment linking to a share price tracker pointing out its not even close to true.
I don't know who makes them or why but the comnent section believes them.
This is why I deleted all of my social media accounts years ago. All I have now is a mastodon account.
I don’t really consider this social media in the same way. Lemmy is a social news aggregator, so it’s adjacent to social media, but people here aren’t friends, we’re all anonymous. It’s not really the same thing. Perhaps one might call it “pseudosocial media”.
