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.

Removed Comment "fired in self-defense after they were attacked with rocks by dozens of rioting Hamas supporters.” is the real headline, but the AP goes with some guys uncle who literally admitted he didn't even witness the confrontation. by

Removed Comment Should show the whole video where these whackos are attacking his car trying to rip him out of his vehicle while blocking him in. Also, where the hell are the police??? by

reason: promoting vehicular homicide
mod
Removed Comment https://v.redd.it/ruhr87bonpub1 Oh no particular reason, other than the huge mob of residents from a nearby suburb chanting "From the river to the sea". Just a few casual calls for genocide though, no big deal. by
spyd3r
reason: Trolling

Nothing to see here, just a bunch of evidence of a shitty bigot troll.

I was wondering where all those comments went thanks for undeleteing them all for me, seems there's some overzealous moderators that are more interested in enforcing ideological purity than fostering open discussion.

"Promoting vehicular homicide", for pointing out they edited the video to remove the parts that showed it was self defense and not an attack, that's rich. My here mistake was not posting the full unedited video to properly illustrate their hypocrisy

"Trolling" for providing video evidence of anti-semitic hate speech and calls for genocide. another good one, really says something about the person who removed that comment.

"Rule 1" for pointing out a headline was sourced from some guy who admitted (in the same article) he didn't even witness the events he's being quoted on. Quality

"Trolling/baiting" for making a joke about stupid bus lanes. LiTeRaLly ThEy WoRsT PeRsOn In ThE WoRlD!!
