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 URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

MODERATORS
There's no capacity for a Plan B here. For normal people the Second Great Depression began a year or two ago. The county foodbank is so overwhelmed that they now restrict access to county residents, with residents of two red states driving cross-border just to pick through the scraps of our grocers. The only private foodbank employs three people and the line outside of it during its sporadic distribution hours was an hour long last year. Food not Bombs is the only mutual aid effort and it's so disorganised that it's bring-your-own-everything three times per week to distribute individual meals. My grocery bill has increased maybe 50% over the past five years while my wage has remained what was unaffordable in 2020, with the local labour market being hit by multiple mass layoffs and hiring freezes at the same time.
They really underestimate how much this is going to break the system.
Boy im sure glad the director at the dining hall i work at says nobody can take home food anymore!
