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.

I didn't "make up" anything, I commented about an experience I have witnessed among many, many of my peers. Shitty parents who fetishize rules and uphold them over what is right are very common in my personal, lived experience. I am happy for you that you find this so unbelievable, because it means your life has been much better than mine.

Man. You're really committed to this.

[–] Urist@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just made an offhand comment saying I hope his parents are supportive despite the fact that many aren't. Then a dozen people dog piled me with "actually there's no such thing as an unsupportive parent you're making that up this is a psyop!!!!"

From my perspective, you're the one strangely committed to denying that there has ever been a shitty parent anywhere on Earth.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeahhhh, buddy no. That's not what happened. Nobody has ever claimed there weren't unsupportive parents, you made up that a significant proportion of parents (conveniently members of a group you dont like) were prone to torturing their children.

And then after a ban, you're back to try and make up the narrative yet again. Bold strat there.

I've seen it plenty of times. Solitary confinement is torture, punitive beatings are torture. Where I'm from, it's very common for parents to inflict these forms of torture on their children.

there is a very harmful liberal pacifist tendency in a significant part of the population which leads to people being punished for fighting back against injustice?

That was the made up claim you were rightfully called out over - once again, I'm not here to argue that shitty parents don't exist, and I have never claimed that they don't. I'm not about to argue about it, either, since that's not the claim you've been criticized for making up.

[–] Urist@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't make anything up. That is an observation of the world around me and I stand by it.

Leave me alone, you clearly have no interest in having a reasonable conversation.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You got banned and came back 24 hours later to start this fight again - you are 100% within your rights to leave and I will absolutely respect that, but I'm not about to let you pretend you didn't absolutely start this back up after an extremely clear indication that you should drop this. If you want to stop ralking about it, feel free to stop.

I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm just replying to what's in my inbox.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ban notifications also get sent to your inbox.

Nope.

Denies genocides, denies functionality baked into the lemmy protocol... man, you're a real piece of work.
