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.

A proprietary, for-profit version of Lemmy

You forgot shitty version of Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh with all the extremist propaganda from places like hexbear, Lemmy is the shitty version of Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know, man. I've had a better experience here. There's the occasional ragebait, but that's easy to block. Reddit on the other hand... ugh.

Maybe I should switch to your instance, lemmy.world defederated with Hexbear.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Your instance is federated with Hexbear? Yeah man. Switch over.

Who fucks a fish?

I wouldn't go. It's mostly spambots and crypto scams.

This frood is not averse to a hive of scum and villainy, but that place is too nasty even for my towel now. I wish the Apollo dev endless fortune and spez endless bowel distress.

You forgot about all the right wing trolls and sea lions offering all that Valuable Discussion™

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I hope it doesn't catch on

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Weird, why would they want to make something like that?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So they can fool investors into buying shares. They do things like offer 100$ in free advertising credit to boost advertiser numbers, and ban 3rd party apps/run a pixelboard to boost user numbers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I can't imagine anyone being dumb enough to sign up for that, but according to the article, some few have.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Because it was there first and we didn't know better yet

When have they ever made a profit?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

No one said the people running it are competent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

For profit doesn't mean they are successful
