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.

I feel so bad for her. These fucking ghouls won't be happy until she kills herself. Anyone know when her next match is? I finally care enough to support someone in an Olympic competition
I hope she takes home the gold
~~Today, ongoing as of an hour of this comment. She's up against a Hungarian boxer~~
I misread, tomorrow Aug 3 at 17:22 Paris time
her opponent also posted this shit on her socials
Here's hoping Imane fucking destroys her. I don't know if Olympic boxing has ever gone to knockout but inshallah
This is beyond hitler particles, this is hitler slabs
Ugh, I hope she gets knocked the fuck out
something like this should be immediately disqualifying, but nooo can't do that
she knows she's about to get trashed
Can't she get fucking disqualified for this? This is straight up transphobia, racism, and misogyny.
The Olympics are so fucking ass
Nah they say racist shit about non-white athletes all the time and never even get a slap on the wrist. But yes the IOC is a joke.
The IOC fucking sucks and is just another alleged neutral organization that conviently tows the western line and enforces western hegemony. Russian athletes aren't allowed to compete under the Russian flag but any western country is? Bullshit. If they were in any way legitimate they'd ban anyone spouting this shit about this poor boxer. Media, athletea, coaches whoever.
Lmao of course a Hungarian would do something like this
hope Imane knocks her into the stratosphere
Nope. I want her lifeless body to be bagged up right there in the ring.
Are you sure? I tried to find it but found this
Ah you're absolutely right, the Olympics website for me loaded in a weird way where I thought I was on Aug 2
