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

letters are literally whatever you want to spell.

It probably should be a real word now.

Hell if I know what it actually means though. There's only so much meaning you can glean from a Trump tweet.

IIRC it’s supposed to be coffee

Nope, it was coverage. The tweet was complaining about the msm's reporting on his bs.

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 7 months ago

I'm not so sure he didn't decide he wanted coffee in the middle of the Tweet and, since he can't stop saying anything that comes into his head, he typed it, but since he's also an idiot, he didn't spell it properly.

Well what I want is an Urban Dictionary Scrabble. If you can’t pull up the article, the word doesn’t count.

I think they are mad because scrabble removed some slurs from the allowed words.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

I've played Scrabble for decades and I didn't even know there were any slurs allowed. Never in any game I have ever played do I remember a slur. Not even when playing against a computer. That's how "woke" they've made this new version!

Edit: After some searching, I found out that they only banned the N-word in tournament play in 2020. What the fuck, Hasbro? https://www.dicebreaker.com/games/scrabble/news/scrabble-community-bans-offensive-words

[–] EdibleFriend 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can guarantee they didn't know it was allowed either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Right. lol

They never needed that rule before.

I aspire to be the reason a new rule is made.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

In fairness, I doubt it came up much... Most people don't like to use slurs in public
