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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


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.

“Violence has no place on Reddit,” the spokesperson said. “Our sitewide rules strictly prohibit any content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence. In line with these rules, we are removing any instances of the suspect’s manifesto or recordings and hashing to prevent reupload. We’re also closely monitoring the communities on our platform to ensure compliance with our rules.”

But they have no problem with violent right wing subreddits.

r/combatfootage has never been taken down. It's by far one of the most violent subs ever published on reddit.

Yeah I got banned for violating rule one when I said “I hope he gets sick and dies” about DT. They claimed that was a threat of violence. I told them they needed to keep a dictionary on their desks, cause obviously they can’t fucking read.

I caught a ban over there for joking that some lefty frat bro types needed to follow around Matt Gaetz and hype him up into doing good things whenever he accidentally calls for something positive because he was talking about showing the receipts and taking the GOP down with him when they were stonewalling him after the AG thing.

Pretty sure its some sort of automation doing the bannings/suspensions these days. It probably picked up "I hope... he.. dies." Or some bullshit.

I've been suspended so much from reddit lately for the most boring stuff. Last time I was suspended for saying trump should be deported to El Salvador. Like, where is the reason to suspend me? That's what trump supports!

Glad lemmy is my daily driver now.

I appealed, they denied and in the denial explicitly stated that my comment had been reviewed by a human.
