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.

Is everyone else sick of hearing about T Swift? I don't have anything against her, just don't want to see or hear her any more.

Filter out her name. I filter out certain keywords, like musk, tesla and kanye.

When was the last time you even heard about Kanye?

He went all anti-Semitic and then he disappeared from everything.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

They haven't heard about Kanye, because they filters out that name, duh!

You mean the reptiloids are holding him hostage under a Pizza store in New York, or whatever the current conspiracy is.

Sadly, having "X" as a filter filters out more than what "Twitter" used to. It's really a dumb fucking name.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's a good name for the right kind of product. But yeah, for Twitter, it's stuuuupid!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What kind of product might that be?

One with absolutely no presence on the internet maybe?

[–] derpgon 4 points 9 months ago

Like a porn site, or a porn magazine, or a porn studio, or a porn agency. Where else do you wanna watch your XVideos.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Maybe. It works for programming languages like R. But yeah, searching for it would be a nightmare.
