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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Not spontaneously and unnecessarily (re)traumatizing our comrades. It shouldn’t feel like a minefield where every post you scroll has a small chance of being gore or something that otherwise ruins your day.
Is this really the hill you want to make your stand on?
How about being nice to people when they ask you to be nice
Everyone is telling you why, how bout just change your opinion based on the fact everyone is telling you why your opinion is wrong?
it's not even about changing your opinion, no need to make it bigger than etiquette and matching what a community says is good/polite behavior while visiting
Hey go fuck yourself then, shithead!
I don't even care that you edited it, it was seen by the user you said it to, so the harm was done and you're gone
I’m also fortunate enough to not have trigger words like this, but at the same time I’ve been here for years and never felt like I couldn’t properly say what I needed to say, even if I have to change/mask a word occasionally.
Maybe not so much the word itself but maybe the context might remind someone of having it happen to them and then having it turned into a joke.
I’ll be honest it’s a little weird to joke about sending that kind of joke to your friends. Like I remember it being used to say someone got destroyed in a video game, but outside of that context you would get called gay for making that kind of joke about same-sex friends and a creep for doing it to the opposite sex.
Reddit behavior do some self crit.
