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
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.

Why the fuck is this being downvoted? My news feed doesn't even have one article stating the outcome of the election.
Do you guys know what the downvote button is for?!?
It's because OP is a douche. And there was another post about this an hour before OP's, and it shows up on my feed. And there are more in other communities.
Right, so people don't know what the downvote button is for. We need mods to ban folks who abuse the Downvote button
You need a better news feed. Like maybe one that doesn't require random people to find top headlines for you.
Theyre all here of lemmy. The issue is that people have downvotes them as if they're not newsworthy
Trusting Lemmy for your news is not a good plan. Not a good plan at all.
Trump is already over the required 270 mark. He has won.
Yes. And its absent from my feeds default sort because idiots are down voting all the articles about it
You could just look at non-social media and find the answers you were looking for?
I went to Google myself.
Yeah everything is biased. Weird but whatever
The media is having a sulking moment... They took **hours ** to call it, even after it was statistically confirmed.
Becouse Lemmy lost the elections 😏
Your poor spelling is very representative here lol
education really is underfunded. And trump is gonna make that worse. Giving a feedback loop of idiots ruining everything while ironically remaining ignorant of it all
