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.

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.
for many of us still using X, there’s a sense that we are trapped on the site with Musk
Seriously? Is Musk pointing a gun to their heads or something? Just ditch it. It's not difficult. Millions already have. They need to grow a proverbial spine, close their account, and stop giving credibility and attention to that toxic nepo-baby man-child.
Musk got the video from the West Bestern account
An infinite number of Musks sitting at infinite computers, with infinite Adobe licenses, still wouldn't be able to produce any original content
Jbfc. What happened to us? Can it be fixed?
This is the real question.
I think the answer is wealth inequality and failing education systems. If we fix the first through better tax practices, we could fix the second, and maybe pay for everyone's healthcare, too.
Can it be fixed?
eventually. Either enough of the retards that vote for this have to suffer for the outcome of their actions, or the top brass have to die off and fail so hard that it collapses.
Look into how the dictatorships fell in LATAM and on the iberian peninsula.
Fun fact : Did you know that after WW2, you still had fascist countries in europe? They even hosted a ~~world cup!~~ UEFA Euros , and they were selected to host the world cup during Franco's reign
