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, 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.

Makes sense. Philly suburbs are full of busybodies. Usually they’re complaining about having moved next to a farm.
Well, it's the Philly suburbs. Anyone salty about having moved too close to a farm just has to wait about two years. The farm will be bulldozed and either converted into more shoddily built duplexes that are too close together, or a strip mall. Problem solved!
Yes I am aware that people are, in fact, the worst
I did such a double take at this place name, I assumed I’d misread it and the piece was actually talking about Wales! Are Welsh place names common in the eastern US? Would love to hear the local pronunciation, I was rubbish at Welsh place names until I’d actually lived in the country. The good news is it’s way more phonetic than English, the bad news is some of the alphabet encodes sounds which straight up don’t exist in English.
Can’t imagine any children getting this kind of grief in the original Bala, it’s a very small town in Eryri national park (commonly known as Snowdonia in English) set in a very beautiful landscape. I wouldn’t have spent a minute indoors if I’d grown up there, I’d have been out on Llyn Tegid / Bala Lake from the moment school ended.
In PA the Welsh are a minor immigrant population, known for having owned a bunch of coal mines that later immigrants labored in.
That’s interesting, Wales was fairly prolific around the world on that front. Donetsk in Ukraine was founded by a Welshman for example.
