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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

That's not surprising. They eliminated verification and turned the algorithm into a pay-to-win system where the most annoying motherfuckers on earth get sorted to the top of every discussion. They allow people to post (genuinely) antisemetic shit, racism, and celebrate genocide every day while censoring criticism of imperialism. The owner of the site personally does this. The website still automatically flags any post which uses the word 'cisgender.'

It is a fucking DUMP there, and pretty much all of 'weird twitter,' a milieu which strongly influenced this community in its infancy, is gone. Most "normal" people are gone. ALL of my favorite non-celebrity posters are gone. The only "left" remaining there for the most part are people with careers which rely on self-promotion. It is 3% journalists, politicians and streamers, and 97% rabid hogs begging for them to be deported or exterminated. There is absolutely no one on that website who I am interested in holding a conversation with. Noting to look forward to but updates on the worsening conditions of life inside and outside of the empire. Any GOOD post, which happens rarely, will be flooded with hundreds of replies from fascists, making any further conversation impossible.
