A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Sort of. It's kind of like the "cult" vs "sect" vs "religion" distinction; it's just a question of scale.

So when it's only a couple inbred, racist fuckwits, it's "vigilantism". When it's half the population of the country, it's "civil unrest".
