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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

A lot of it is newsworthy though

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So why are there two different comms?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So the news comm doesnt get too filled with too many posts of US (and other countries too) electoral proceses

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Elections and election results from non-core nations are actually relevant news that can impact geopolitics and require analysis. People considering maybe primarying a couple congress people in the core is not.

phoenix-think I hate electoral news on my feed so much that I will engage with it for several hours today

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I just wish nerds use that comm more, its a good one plus its a default one

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I would like it if it functioned as a quarantine for succs who want to flood my feed with “American chauvinist considers maybe forming a committee to primary the incumbent gubernatorial candidate” for the umpteenth time

[–] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

I do often use it. I moderate it! Sometimes I just think certain news could go either way or would rather have different groups engage with it!

Squares and rectangles

All news is news, some news is electoralism related, not all electoralism is news.
