Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

I feel like a part of this depends on the types of electric stoves people have used. Flat stovetops with embedded heating elements or induction stoves are way way nicer in my experience than raised coil stoves. Probably a lot of the people who prefer gas have been using raised coils and not one of the better options
Coil sucks, but I hate the glass stove tops too if you're a renter because it is a deposit trap. One little scratch and your landleech tries to take the whole deposit and you spend months fighting it. Also using a wok on a coil or glass stove top sucks in my experience, not a lot of non-gas western stoves seem to accommodate a wok all that well. I've seen a few induction stove tops that are built with a wok in mind, but landleeches never put those in apartments I have available to me.
flat bottom woks. Even with a gas stove, you're not gonna get the same flavor as a Chinese restaurant at home, because they use very high powered flames. So there's really no point in using a regular round bottom wok at home.
That's a really good point as well. The same actually just happened to someone I know. At least with the coil the fix if you damage a burner is like 12 dollars or was last time I had to replace them
I hate my flat top 😅 way too inconsistent with the heat
I hate my induction stove so much. Gas was way easier to handle.
Heat transfer is uneven, move the pan to balance it, stove shuts off.
Something boils over, if I wipe it away the stove shuts off.
Very different heating characteristics for each piece of cookware.
