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.

have autistic kids enlist and solve captchas all day to train skynet
Okay so you know how we like to insert "AI" as a magical cure all solution to all our problems? And anything proposed to someone in power after 2021 must have "AI" in it?
And you know how AI doesn't actually exist and all the current shit we're calling that is a junk bullshit thing thats literally just autocorrect juiced up exponentially from 'runs as part of my phones keyboard app' to 'data center that requires a dedicated nuclear power plant' and that barely improves it because this technology, on top of not being something that can lead to intelligence, has ridiculously diminishing returns?
And you know how when you try to explain any part of that to anyone with any money or power, their eyes just glaze over as they mentally categorize you as a hater/heretic, because FOMO and needing to believe because their world order us clearly dying and only believing in the magical power of AI fairy dust can ward off both the terrible communists who will steal their toothbrush and/or dismantle their power to call down unlimited violence on anyone they think has cooties and solve all the ways their way of life is going to end a life on earth without them having to grow or change at all?
And you know how they dont understand jack shit about autistic people unless we explain ourselves in terms of utility to them, but they can only take like two sentences before they get bored and wander off to pretend theyre having a conversation while 500db music plays distorted over speakers that really werent meant for thst, or get some friends together for a lynching, or whatever NT's do for fun?
This is taking two magical intelligence related machines you dont understand and saying they'll go well together. Possibly after reading/watching some mid 20th century SciFi about child soldiers being really good at killing aliens.
