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.

Everyone else has already made great points, so I'm gonna throw a new one out there. Why do all of these people with more money than God dress like absolute shit. I'm sure that cowboy hat cost more than I make in a year, but the man looks like an idiot. Musk and zuck always have the dumbest trash on, too. I get that they are trying to look different to signal that they are elite, but it really just gives off a strong "Look Mom! I dressed myself today!" vibe.

It’s the same reason they have such outlandish there opinions. There is no one in their orbit to tell them ‘no.’ They’ve been experiencing ai psychosis for years, only in the form of yes men instead of plagiarism machines. Anyone that had the temerity to tell Elon that no, we will not have people living on Mars within ten years has long since been removed from access to him.

In absolutely no way defending them- if you spent your life having every person you interacted with telling you that whatever drivel you spouted was the greatest thing ever, you too would presume to be one of the smartest on Earth.

It's what happens when you are surrounded by yes men. Also they can never experience genuine love without wondering if the person is just there for their money.

Its the extreme end of "I can dress the way I want, screw what others are thinking". But when that becomes a thing of its own it ends in some questionable fashion choices.
