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. 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.

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.

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

Lemmy is worse than reddit in terms of unhinged and hateful replies to benign, good-faith but ignorant comments. I don't know how shut-in the users here are but everyone is itching to rip someone's throat out over imagined slights or the desperate, performative need to look better than someone else who doesn't know something.
No, it's pretty annoying when people don't link shit that should be easy. At least when I'm doing it from mobile, I'll promise to do it when I get home.
Btw, here's the Behind the Bastards episode. Part One: How The Catholic Church Murdered Ireland's Babies | BEHIND THE BASTARDS
This! Im gonna get down voted for this im sure but I've been using Lemmy instead of reddit for almost a year now or so but the hive mind is almost worse here than it is on reddit! People here seem to not be interested in actual discussion unless you agree 100% with them. It's frustrating, I was hoping Lemmy was gonna be better.
Oh well, at least there's less bigots and my app still works haha
There's probably significant overlap with the Linux warriors here who will respond to people's legitimate questions with variations of "why don't you just not do that and instead do this other thing that doesn't solve your issue" (and also not explain how to do that either).
