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

I am absolutely sickened by the ghouls in this thread, laughing at the victims of scams. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

To the victims of Truth Social, my heart hurts for you, and I'm here to help:

Send me the financial transaction details of the scam, including your bank account number, your social insurance number, date of birth, your mother's maiden name, and other documentation as needed, and I will take care of things.

social insurance number

Limey detected!

OK Truthers, this is why you need my protection. DON'T FALL VICTIM to these FOREIGNERS! If contacted, immediately notify me with any information they requested and I'll VERIFY THE SECURITY of your private details.

Canuck more likely. In the UK it's a national insurance number.

No no, that mistake is deliberate to automatically filter out the smart people.

And also your credit card expiration date, and the CVV number on the back.

It's not needed. God will make it right.

We're all making jokes while Chupa's out there doing the Lord's work.
