Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It’s the only social media I use because the algorithm is so precise, it’s intensely trained on cat videos and possum videos. It doesn’t serve me anything else at this point, it’s a thing of beauty

Fuck you Joe, I want cat and possum videos thurston possum-mama

The algo is kinda insane cos it calibrates so fast and knows what i want at that point in time like it can read my fucking mind. Youtube either shows me videos that are already in my sub feed, videos I've already watched or fascist content

What it doesn't serve is right-wing garbage when you feed it literally anything, unlike YouTube and Twitter

TikTok, this site, tumblr and a few reddit-logo subreddits are my only social media for this very reason.

I can’t go two seconds anywhere else without getting a video saying that people like deserve to die just because it would be funny if we died. At least on these sites that number is slightly less.

Nazis have the entire world as one big circlejerk for their ideas. All I want is one small circlejerk for my unpopular but correct ideas.
