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.

Travelers spending way more time in the airport, increasing the likelihood of catching and transporting the virus, isn't the most optimal combination with this news.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 8 points 9 hours ago

with measles and polio much more virulent and antivaxxers are on the rise.

The Pedophile-In-Chief will save us. Just like last time.

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

He already figured it out the last time. Just inject some bleach or get yourself irradiated.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 22 points 23 hours ago

He's saving the rest of the world by unwittingly discouraging travel to and from the US.

WEARING A MASK IS LIKE WEARING A CONDOM.

Would you risk a permanent disease for the sake of "ehh I dont like how it feels"?

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It’s actually only a good analogy if you have an STI you’re preventing giving to others.

Masks keep YOU from spreading what you have unless it’s KN-95 or better iirc.

[–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 10 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Going to refer to my favourite meme of the pandemic and say masks work both ways

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

anti-vaxxers, conservatives likely dont wear condoms too, hence they have higher pregnancy and STDS.

[–] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 hours ago

Hard to find one small enough

"I can only breathe with a mask on my face when im hiding my identity to beat up on people of color!!! Any other time though, fuck off!!!"

“ehh I dont like how it feels”

Considering how well preventable STI's still get around, I'd say that sentiment is a little too common. That or a lot of people are hot garbage at risk assessment.

If this one doesn't take out Trump, I'm eating a Chinese bat myself.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago

Well, like last time, Trump will get treated by the latest medicines at Walter Reed and a vaccine while the rest of the country can get fucked.
