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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


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. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


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.

The Fed has the responsibility of stabilizing prices and maximizing employment. Powell has held its benchmark rate for overnight loans constant this year, saying that Fed officials needed to see what impact Trump’s massive tariffs had on inflation.

attention is a currency

Time is Money is an age-old adage. But it's one each of us has to conceptualize within our own material condition.

Right now too many people consume news uncritically

If there's one thing I haven't seen a lack of, its naval-gazing self-criticism. Whether its a FOX News host ranting about the Lie-brul Media or a TDS comic ranting about a FOX host ranting about the Lie-brul Media or a Crossfire host ranting about TDS ranting about FOX News ranting about...

It's an ouroboros of criticism. But what comes of it?

The civil action that I see - the Palestine protests and "No Kings Day" marches, efforts to provide relief to migrants crossing the border deserts, anti-war rallies, the journalists collecting information on both the technical and social hazards of slipshod technology like AI and Crypto, the reports on consequences of climate change and political efforts to prevent it, efforts to implement BDS on public trusts and state spending priorities - are all getting bottled up by corporate obstruction and their members brutalized by federal police.

This isn't an issue of attention, its one of action. There's a strong popular demand for big socio-economic reforms that is being squelched by the bloated boot of the police state. So all we have left is people screaming out at one another from underneath.
