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

Freedom for choice of transit? Nah

Freedom for affordable housing? Nah

Freedom to not provide safety to workers? Hell yeah! 🇺🇲🦅

Glad to see my governor making great choices for my fellow Floridians. Really was an important issue to prioritize too.

Nothing says freedom like the freedom to take away other people's freedom. Fuck fascists and all their supporters.

TBH I just don't understand how this kind of human garbage policy can be popular anywhere. I mean, it must be popular if DeSantis has been elected right? Who are the people voting for this shit? And who are the people letting it happen?

I am guessing the folks impacted by this are not empowered to vote against him, either because they are undocumented or poor or what not. I'm sure some still vote for him, but I don't know how anyone can pass this law. The earth is getting hotter and laboring outside in the hottest part of the day without protections is going to get people killed.

It hasn't been proven yet but I expect that the voting machines - invented during the George Bush era - don't work right. It cannot be the case that americans are dumb enough to actually support the right wing to the degree they otherwise appear to. Then again I'm watching from an actually civilized country, in horror, as y'all cannibalize yourselves and your democracy over some retards, and ruin ours by proxy, so according to fuckmericans i can't possibly know what I'm talking about..
