Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
This is what I am being told by every lib on the Discord servers I am in.
EDIT: They like to repeat the gotcha of when it takes place like its some sort of master move.
Oh thank god, it won't affect the next election, the most important election of our lives. But I fear the consequences of alienating the youth for the election after, the most important election of our lives
I clearly remember Dems parading the youth vote as key for Obama winning, and for 2018's marginal D wins. They really must think people forget within 2 years.
To be frank I don’t think a lot of people do remember literally two years ago in this stupid country. One year is pushing it.
If Trump wins the election I'd bet my left toe that he drops the ban. It's literally free political points in the young demographic, which keeps the GOP off his back.
Ban discord
Alienating one of the the only demographics that overwhelmingly votes liberal seems wise
