news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

And all the real humans will migrate sites you can’t run ads on like this.
It’s the only logical solution for the user at this point. The other “services” are so deteriorated with ads you can’t even call them that without denying your lying eyes.
If I buy a box of 100 pens and it has 1 pen and 99 bananas I didn’t buy a box of fucking pens no matter what happened during the exchange ritual. Eventually people will have that same moment for all these websites where they realize whatever they were there to find isn’t there.
Hmm. All this talk of pens and bananas is giving me an idea. I’m trying to be a UX/UI designer right now. Maybe we could make alternate, secure versions of every popular social media app but change them just enough to not get sued.
We could even bring back myspace… if we wanted…
Launching MyBook and FaceSpace
How about My Little Red Book and Facedu Bois?
It would be fuckin hilariously ironic to be sued by Redbook for that.
