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.

They have been screaming that shit ever since obama and they still haven't done shit.

I think January 6 proved that they are more willing to take extreme measures. The tension has been noticeably increasing.

The reality is the rhetoric at hand leads only to civil war or a coup if it continues. The fascists are no longer pretending to respect elections, they have multiple oligarchs funding their delusions, and they're armed and violent.

It might not be this year, but it could be. Or the next.

This is why I can't stand the holy than thou people saying na na na boo boo you won't do shit about MAGA types in the comments of posts like these. J6 was a warning shot in the sense that we got lucky it was not well planned and that they were very stupid once they gained entry.

These people are crazy and they have demonstrated the willingness to act. It's so dangerous to say they won't do anything. They might not, but there is no calling it either way.

Yeah but imagine if there had been an actual armed response then. They would have been slaughtered.

I doubt they'll be so chill this time.

Till that one maga-hag took a bullet to the face. They stopped pushing that front REAL FAST.

They've done plenty, just look at all the "right-wing lone-wolfs" that have killed so many Americans in the last four years. We're already at war with these assholes, they just want it to keep escalating.
