Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Is this the point where we tell you that the levers used to toss LGBT content out of schools, libraries, and elsewhere in the US are the exact same levers used against sexual content as well? They don't even bother to relabel the levers when they do so either. All in the name of removing said content to protect women and children. Hell, you're actually doing what they want you to do by going after anyone against this under the very veil of protecting women and children.
That's why they do it like this here US, so they (and anyone who doesn't investigate) get to attack anyone against it with some form of "think about the women and children" to shut down any criticism and pushback against it, and to make it look like from the outside looking in that anyone who is against having this happen are just a bunch of '[you know exactly what word these people would intend goes here]' looking to exploit women and children.
I'm aware... Look, I just thought it was surprising that they sound like they could be posters on a struggle session here. I'm not "going after anyone against this" wtf?
You were carrying water for them. Same thing imho.
Some right wing people have learned how to manipulate well meaning people (usually liberals) to fight battles for them, and this is one of the many ways they do it. By smuggling anti-LGBT stuff in with anti-sexuality stuff, but put heavy emphasis of the sexual side to disguise the true intent. They can get well meaning liberals to think that it really is meaning to just protect women and children by using the correct words, and get these very same liberals to carry water for them, so that they have a chance at enacting their real goal of trying to force LGBT people back into the closet.
