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.

MODERATORS
This is kind of a complicated issue. We haven't figured out federated video yet. Hosting is expensive, and instances are unreliable, search is abysmal. If you happen to already know a creator that uses peer tube, it's easy enough to follow them, but like a lot of the fetaverse, discoverability is low.
Odysee bridges that gap between giant, centralized video hosting behemoth Google/YouTube and truly free video hosting.
There are a lot of creators who have ideological aversion to being hosted on YouTube, Which includes a lot of FOSS and privacy people like Louis Rossmann or Naomi Brockwell. It also means unfortunately that there are some people who leave mainstream services because their ideas are so repugnant, that they get banned.
Anyway, here are the official community guidelines from their website.
So the community guidelines aren't being enforced? I still think that's a problem. The federated video sites I've used (mostly peertube instances, tbh) all have community guidelines, and if they didn't enforce them, I wouldn't use the sites.
Even though they are smaller than YouTube a huge amount of video gets uploaded so they largely rely on reports. The issue is that for the reports to work, people have to actually got to watch their videos and, for their team to get to them, they have to get multiple reports. This was made worse by they capital expenditure they went through while fighting their classification.
I am no content creator but i do occasionally make videos that i want to share.
I am therefore not bound to youtube but i can't use odysee because the recommended videos are clearly racicst. I share a video about goldfish and odysee recommend. Videos about why 'white is better' or 'what i love about Hitlers'... after a talk in the community's discord i realised that it was not a place for me to be in
no peertube instance can handle open registration and last longer than a couple of years.
even google is having a hard time storing all the video that gets uploaded.
