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.

It's fucked, I see it all the time on tumblr the deepfakes of people and celebrities.
Makes me terrified of what teenage boys will do when they jailbreak their parents' robots, 10 years from now. We need very strict laws around AI and robotics, or we will quickly spiral into a very dark place.
The whole thing the incel community had was that sex bots were going to be the great equalizer for men who couldn't score with women, but instead they're just using it to be creepy around the women they can't get, rather than substitute the intimacy.
It was never about a "male loneliness epidemic" and always about men being mad that they can't control women.
A lot ofremoved apologia among incel groups. They'll straight-up say it should be legal and women deserve it. Absolute serial killer shit.
I fucking hate scrotes so much.
How the fuck is there even a “male loneliness epidemic”?
You’re a nazi chud in the west. How are you a chud and fail to make friends in the fucking west?
Non-chuds are lonely. Minorities and people who aren’t nazis are lonely. Don’t see us whining about it.
Gotta be careful what the adult men will do. The primary use of humanoid robots is sex and anyone saying otherwise is lying to you
There is no other reason to make a robot with the same proportions as a human. The argument that it is most able to do tasks in a person-dominated world is BS. Robots don't need heads. The robot needs balance? Okay give it four humanoid legs. Even if legs are the optimal locomotion (I'm skeptical of this) all you need are legs with a couple arms strapped to them, atlas and p-body style
What are teenagers going to do with their parents' jailbroken robots
Imagine if the worst bully at your middle school had a Terminator to torture other kids with.
oh I thought you were intimating at them doing some sort of weird sex thing
idk at that point it's not really much different from worrying about them taking their parents' gun(s) (/american things)
