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.

okay so you're a victim, maybe someone will wear a colored ribbon for you, changes nothing about my suggestion.

I never claimed to be a victim. You, however, claimed I was the one arguing with people when it's actually people arguing with me.

It's not my fault you said something that was false.

OK, I think maybe you should take some time before you respond.

I never claimed to be a victim.

OK.

You might read the order of comments here and notice that people are attacking me...

What do we call someone who is the subject of an attack?

I think you've got to just give up arguing this. You made a mistake, which is fine if we own up to it and don't repeat it. In the future, don't dismiss protests because of perceived damage that you don't actually have any knowledge of. You aren't going to win the argument here, which shouldn't be your goal, but you can prevent yourself from making the same mistake in the future.

What you call it I don't know. What I call it is irritated.

[–] PoliticalAgitator 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You inherently claimed to be a victim by claiming that people were attacking you. You've done an embarrassingly bad job of damage control today.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 6 months ago

Just because people are attacking me doesn't make me a victim. It makes me annoyed.

claimed I was the one arguing with people when it’s actually people arguing with me

What is it like being actually insane?

Easier now that I'm on Cymbalta. Thanks for asking.
