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.

Okay you're right and I knew you're right in that specific manner but I'm leaning with that sort of Reddit user Unidan rant about crows and shit, like, nobody is going out there saying fish and including mammals with the very specific exception of people who know their evolutionary relationships and even then it's only really brought up in instances like this
I mean like nobody's out there eating beef during Lent or whatever and saying hey i mean, technically... yknow, cow's a fish
Thanks for the biology lesson! Ya'll are so nerdy sometimes 😅
Given how bastardized fasting during Lent has become, that isn't giving any credence to your argument. Technically you aren't supposed to eat any meat except for designated feast days, where you are allowed to eat fish.
I don't know why you would assume the traditions of a religion that, in all honesty shouldn't respect the idea of an evolutionary taxonomy, would respect changed understandings of evolutionary taxonomy. I'm just waxing poetic this point though, you are correct in the broadest sense.
I mean, I personally think about this shit all the time, but that's just me.
I mean the mention of Lent was just as an example of how, at least in my opinion (i haven't done any surveys yo) the common understanding is that mammals =/= fish, not like, that my argument is entirely underpinned by religious basis
but like shhhh shhhh we agree, it's just that you and i are super special people who know that we're all fish <3 <3 and most other people don't but we don't have to fight <3
either way though I wouldn't want to be a fish or a whale and have to deal with the parasite and shit they deal with. I know that parasites can get bad for people too but like shit at least we have hands and stuff, we don't have to like try to breach the surface and hope it dislodges something eating our eyes
Lol The benefit of being a fish is that you aren't aware you are a fish
