Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

No. Do not share that site. It uses google scripts and can't be loaded in Tor Browser.

Just share an article from another news outlet that doesn't paywall.

Bug stories like this are covered by hundreds of outlets. Its not hard.

I had to try this and you appear to be correct.

Its kinda bizare i get a captcha which i cant enter without javascript but in firefox i dont get any captcha at all.

However i don’t think your solution is adequate. I don’t particularly care about this story i care about having to face a paywall every 3 times i click a link on lemmy.

Kinda sucks there are not more sites like it but i did successfully test this compromise: https://web.archive.org/web/20250226151151/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/technology/iphone-dictation-trump-racist.html

If we just publish articles from one of the majority of news sites that dont have paywalls, there is no problems. Everyone can load it with one click.

We really should ban linking to the nyt
