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:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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!

So, how long until they delete the comment section outright?

What even is the point of the comments section?

Great way to communicate directly with the person who posted the video. Also a good way to answer questions when viewing educational content (like cooking shows).

Driving engagement. They don't care if it's full of trolls or spambots. As long as it entices users to engage on their platform, it's a plus in their books
