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

Dude leaped over the bench and beat her ass and you think he's reformed lmao
You understand though, he was angry in that situation that he was going to face consequences, it's totally different.
?????????? Being grumpy about something warrants physical assault, huh
The comment heavily reads like sarcasm.
Good thing we all decided we were too sensitive for the ol' /s and that this kind of misunderstanding never happens
If you need a /s to realize that was sarcasm you don't have the reading comprehension/social skills to be on the internet by yourself anyway.
I had that attitude until I stumbled on people who clearly must live in upside-down world. The "/s" is essential for a site where that relies on text as the medium and where people will have no prior knowledge of the writer.
Sarcasm in the real world can usually be understood through body language and tone. We don't have that here.
Lol talking about social skills while not knowing that sarcasm is generally conveyed with changes and tone and other markers that aren't possible with text...
I picked up on that being sarcasm just fine. The context of the comment was plenty to assume that.
Nice job!
Poe's law is an adage of internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

Yes, those are the ones that shouldn't be on the internet unsupervised.
Thank you.
Lol oh you're being sarcastic
