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 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.

Do we really need a news article every single time this dumbass posts?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When he violates federal law? Yes.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We need charges when he breaks the law more than News articles.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay, well I can't charge him. All I can do is raise awareness.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Could call on officials to press charges and encourage others to do likewise.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have no contacts at the United States Secret Service.

Anyway, who have you called on to press charges?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't live in the States, so I have no one to call. I am encouraging citizens to ask for enforcement of their laws.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Again, I have no contacts in the United States Secret Service.

Perhaps you should check on how our laws work before encouraging us to do things beyond our abilities.
