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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

MODERATORS
Yes, there are many Nazis on Twitter and Musk isn't doing anything about them. That doesn't mean getting rid of this office won't have an effect. Even idiots and assholes can be swayed by the right reframing of information or not even hearing about it if they get rid of a tweet before it goes viral.
He is doing something about them: he is specifically and purposefully enabling them.
It bothers me that I can’t tell if this is because Musk is compromised by foreign powers, or is just that kind of trash.
“Why not both?!”
He always has been kind of trash, but now he has regular business meetings with Putin.
In other COMPLETELY UNRELATED News: Russia has been pushing far right isolationist propaganda in the west for the last 20 years or so, going as far as to fund major parties in the Brexit movement, and far right parties all across Europe, and the Republicans in the USA.
I think they should raid the site and find every piece of transphobic shit and put them all in jail. And Musk should be put away for life as he's enabling all of this shit.
We calling for the arrest and execution of people we don't agree with now? Noted. When the Nazis take over, I'm passing your name on.
How does this angry child have a single upvote?!
Maybe you'd change your mind if you were constantly being harassed by people online because of troll farms like this. Not to mention that places like that enable people to stalk and terrorize trans people IRL. Besides, I never called for executions, that's you just putting words in my mouth. And by your own admission, I'm not surprised you'd collaborate with nazis either or that you actually believe that they could take over. Guess that speaks volumes about you.
like who?
Not playing that game.
what game? Just asked a question. I'm curious who you classify as nazis that Musk supposedly isn't doing anything about
Yes, I know what happens. I give you an article or even specific names and then you say, "how is he a Nazi?" and then I give you specific quotes and you say, "what about those quotes makes him a Nazi?"
That's what game.
If you are unable to answer a simple question I suggest not making such grand claims. Didn't know asking for evidence of such claims is taboo now.

Yes, I know, it's a liberal website that's all fake news.
in before "it's just one guy", "Loan wolf", and "is he really a Nazi, you just call everyone a Nazi"
I am looking forward to the denial of Richard Spencer being a Nazi.
