News
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'm sorry, how is that giving him "too many kudos" rather than recognition of his work? And the main topic I'm arguing is giving him the benefit of the doubt of whether he's a pedophile until evidence comes out.
🤔
Oh but fuck me for defending my point when some of you miss the plot, right. Typical.
I'm honestly not sure why you're crashing out. You made multiple points: A) building up a case defending his character, which was what was directly challenged and B) that we should reserve judgements of recent accusations until we have real evidence.
By all means, I agree that such accusations should not be taken as fact without evidence, but he is also in fact a piece of shit if you look into his history.
Regardless, I'm not your mother, so feel free to continue crashing out and calling people names. You could, of course, always agree to disagree with others 🤷♀️
Crashing out? Can we call things what they are for once or is that too hard? Lol I'm defending my position and complaining that you are taking it beyond what it is, so let's call it that.
I did not "build up a case to defend his character", but gave points on what I think are points in his favor because I'm reserving judgement because I'm clearly speaking in the first person. Duh.
So, please, have several seats. Tbh, I've seen better attempts at trying to spin my shit by other classic Lemmy mean girls like you. 🤷♂️
