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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.

Good to know. Shit, shit shit, shit! Hey you're right. This - this changes the whole game for me!
I appreciated it, anyway. Love getting hassled for trying to raise the level even one tiny bit. Que sera sera.
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN CURSE ON THIS THING
Uh, yeah. Yes.
It's obvious he was saying "shit." Nobody was fooled. No class was gained.
If you don't want to say "shit," just don't say it. It's ridiculous to pretend you're not saying it when typing out all but one letter. Nothing is gained.
I completely agree, which is why I don't swear in public or on the Internet. I also don't mind when others do. But trying to semi-censor yourself just calls more attention to the curse than your actual message, which is worse for everyone.
I'm not going to swear, but you go ahead if you want, and hopefully we can get on with addressing the content of each other's points.
It's a losing fight, but I'll keep fighting it anyway while I'm on the can.
Yeah, I'm swearing enough for three or four, so we need people like you to keep the balance.
Well I'm just being facetious (in a shitty sort of way). I have often written stronger words on this platform. I've just been trying to tone down all the expletives a bit, even if it requires leaving a letter out here and there. I didn't mean to cause an uproar by not spelling out "shit" in all its innate glory.
Why not just replace it entirely, then, with "garbage" or something?
thats fuckin garbage
