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

Of course you are. Just as I'm free to give my defense in the comments.

It's still not news. Have a good one.

Here is the news link to the page it was under at UPI.com, called Odd News: https://www.upi.com/Odd_News/

UPI is in the news business and have been since 1907. So I think they are better at determining what news is than Lemmy posters are.

It is news. Have a good one.

I don't know what that means. Are you replying to the correct post? UPI is an accepted news org in this community. If you have a problem with any news article I have posted, or if you think the facts are incorrect, please let the mod know.
