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.

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.

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.
In which hell?
Come on, get specific with your religious fervour.
I’m pretty sure everyone here died sometime between 2020 and 2022 and is in hell. We all just don’t know where we are yet.
I was born into a capitalist hellscape. Does that count?
I dunno, you’re not in a diamond mine, or locked up in a basement being sold for sex… and you can afford a phone
… so I’d say, relative to the many possible hells that exist on earth, a capitalist hell for you is pretty nice.
Edit: italic text added for clarification
All those other things happen in capitalist hell. It's incredibly selfish to think everything is fine if only you are fine.
That’s true. Good thing I don’t think that. Good thing I never said anything like that. I wouldn’t want anyone to hear what they wanted to hear, twist the original intent, and then send a retort designed to make me look like some kind of selfish person in order to make themselves feel superior.
Here, I’ll use your tactic: It’s incredibly hypocritical to suggest that you are living in hell because other people suffer, while you enjoy the comforts of a capitalist world. You are not living that hell. You are just viewing other people’s suffering, with popcorn, and offering up your thoughts and prayers.
