News
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.
Always infuriates me that they always try and humanize these chuds. "Oh it's just saaaaaad. No matter what side you're on, a man died! Show some concern!"
Because I'm positive he would show the same if some "blue-haired Black person" had fallen to their death, right?
I'm torn when it comes to fascists in this regard, because I think it's very important to remember that these are humans that are capable of doing such awful things. Plus the lessons we've learned from WW2 about how easy it can be for a population of otherwise upstanding citizens to allow that shit to go on under their noses
Nazis ARE people too, and that's one of the things we need to remember.
It's also dehumanization that allows genocidal regimes to gain enough popular support to do this awful shit. Look at some of the rhetoric about Palestinians from IDF soldiers, and it becomes clear why they have no problem murdering children. They literally do not see them as human.
They also in that last example started that dehumanization with transferring that of Nazis to their opponents.
It's also your own emotions (one can say soul) that you harm with dehumanizing others. It doesn't cost one anything really to be decent. And it doesn't help to fight evil one bit to do otherwise.
Most people aren't allowing it, they aren't in a position to stop it.
