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.

You couldn't be more wrong, but ok. I never brought up two sides you did that. This isn't tribalism it's simple observation.

Also conservatives aren't a party. Not sure what your point is here actually. You seem to want to pretend this guy was a good guy somehow but ur not making any sense really.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, of course I didn't want to make this guy a good guy. He clearly wasn't. He seemed to be an embarrassingly hollow dimwit.

And you mentioned conservatives/republicans. And opposing them are? This is as dualistic as it gets. No inbetween. If you read one of those words you automatically know it's US-american.

Anyhow. If I don't make sense to you, I'm sorry.

Mentioning conservatives doesn't make me "the other party" Whatever the hell that means.

You made the assumption there not me. Good example of projection for anyone reading.

I could be a leftist or an all out communist or a green party voter or I could....gasp....not even live in the USA...

Can we not assume this guy particularly cares what party or group you say you're apart of? It's kind of silly for you to say that applies to you but not the person whose been outed and had to be made a scapegoat of by the very party that would have otherwise claimed to support him if they had not INTENTIONALLY BULLIED him to the point of suicide. They've got blood on their hands and they know it.

Yes I made an assumotion. Noone except US-Americans ever use cons/libs/reps. And don't tell me you're not American 😊

But why shouldn't I assume? It's not like you attached your CV. I didn't assume your height or your income, but what was most likely extractable information of your comment.

Also I didn't wanted to piss you off or insult you. I also didn't put you in any party/side of a political spectrum (if you could call it a spectrum).
