Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Oh no that would be bad and wrong, he'd have to put Trump on an international terrorism list first, THEN he could do what Obama did and murder Trump and his children with a drone strike
Imagine Matt Miller and Kirby telling the press gaggle that there would be an internal investigation into the alleged drone striking of an ex-president
"It's tough cookies, folks. Look. Donald Trump wasn't a good guy. And hey, I get it, and we're investigating. But you know what? I don't hear any of you talking about what he did on Jan 6. Did you forget? I didn't and President Biden didn't either. It's a tragic thing that his entire extended family is dead. I agree! But let's not forget who he was and what he did. It's real tough, folks. So let the pentagon look into it, and we'll let you know. Alright anymore questions? No more about Trump."
Look, at this time it's impossible for you to know- for anyone to know, what happened at Mar a Lago. Okay? Now, (speaking over the reporter) NOW, the Republicans are saying one thing, and the Pentagon hasn't completed their investigation. We're going to wait for the results of that investigation, but what I will say is there's reason to believe that Mar a Lago was being used to store military hardware.
FBI crime statistics, but for President-on-President violence
Misfired hamas missile that came back down and hit mar a Lago. Because it was actually fired from Mar a Lago. Secret hamas base all along.
Actually it was an Orange Dome missile run by the Florida State Guard, time to invade Florida for blowing up a president.
