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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. 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.

It's a matter of finding the right one, as I've already explained in my other comment. Either way, not a reason to get personal.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I didn't get personal. Sorry if you took it personally.

I'm talking about the guy that I reported which I would've guessed is how you got to this comment.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah yeah. Please explain how that is a personal attack. They surmised that something must be affecting your taste buds if you find that the two drinks taste the same. That would be an accurate summation if they feel the two taste very dissimilar.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You probably have brain damage if you believe that this was merely a summary.

Does it start to make sense? My taste buds are fine. I just aren't some close minded dumbo who has to lash out at everyone because they've actually sampled various products before forming their opinion.

Need any more help in where we're getting at here? I don't know if I can make it any more obvious.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I understood from the outset. Have a great day!

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So all news subs fail to moderate because of Tankie loving or just gross carelessness. Great. All blocked now. The fuck is the point of this place if you're about as shitty or even worse than Reddit. Clownery.

the modlogs show that we do take action, but only when justified. Just because you feel something is justified, that doesn't mean you're right.

A report doesn't mean you'll get what you want. Moderators will review the report, and see if it has merit.

Insulting us is the best way to make us do our job /s
