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.

I'm waiting for Apple and Google to pull the X client from their app stores.
Then the fun really begins.
Not going to happen as all these companies work together. these companies are notorious to trick regulars into thinking they are helping the society.
SocialMediaPlatform™ does something horrible
Make a huge deal about pulling ads from SocialMediaPlatform™ to get consumers on your side
Quietly return ads to SocialMediaPlatform™ after PR team determines everyone has forgotten
SocialMediaPlatform™ does something even worse
GOTO 2
Lol so true. Its not just Twitter though, most of the companies do the same thing. However its on us to not make noise and boycott the shit outta these companies.
Why don't people just stop caring about whatever the fuck is going on at Twitter/X? I consider it in the same realm as truthsocial or OANN comment sections. Sure, musky had enough money to buy a platform, but that platform is elevated by it's users. If people just stopped doing that, it would be irrelevant. Literally nothing important has happened on twitter, ever. We don't need it. Just discard it and let it wither in the dark.
To add to this, every politician, journalist, and influencer is on Twitter, so even if a majority of people don't use it or post on it, the platform is a hub for ideas and real-time news.
Panem et circem.
Meet the circem.
They keep the panem.
something would have to be seriously wrong for that to happen
In the EU, App stores already have a legal responsibility to remove apps that promote hate speech. While both Google and Apple are sitting on the sidelines while the EU is going through the legal motions to tear Musk a new one, I wouldn't be surprised if they kick X out just before someone forces them too, just to pretend they actually care.
Just in time for the EU to also force third party app stores through, and X attempting to make one sounds plausible even if they get nowhere with it.
[gestures vaguely]
They already have no problem pulling other apps for shit that Xitter is known to pull. Even when said other apps have a similar lack of control (or even less) over said content.
And the users will migrate into the welcoming arms of the 粪 client instead.
