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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

I'm with you 100%, but if we take a journey in the real world for a second, I'd appreciate an answer to my question.
Also, as an aside, if you hear of a baby dying from being put into an oven mistakenly - what is your raw reaction as a human? Do you just say "oh goobers." Or do you start poking at how this could happen? If you do start to poke, who or what do you poke first and why?
My reaction is "how fucking awful" and this would be my reaction regardless of how the baby came to be in the oven. What other reaction do you expect people to have? Why are you seemingly equating waiting to be properly informed with not caring about the subject?
We're on a comment thread on Lemmy, we're not involved in investigating this case. I don't see why we'd be "poking" around.
Like the other commenter I think "how fucking awful" then read the story, then wait for more details when the details are lacking.
Again, in this age of disinformation and propaganda you have to exercise some discipline and critical thinking, and not jump to conclusions, also this is the real world, and people in the real world need to gain some discipline and critical thinking abilities, because it seems far too few of us have those abilities. I mean ffs we could find out tomorrow that this whole thing was an AI generated article that didn't really happen, just like how the recent "toothbrush botnet hack" story that went viral this week was fake.
Being snoopy so you can feed something inside of you is silly at best. If that's all you're after go read a mystery novel.
Are you the lead investigator on this? Please do let us know what you find since you actually have access to the necessary evidence.
Otherwise, tf are you on about?
