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.

What?
Clicking enter while typing in a comment/post will put you on a new line in the text editor, but Markdown interprets this as a regular space.
Having two line breaks (enter twice) in the editor tells Markdown to leave an empty line and then start in a new line.
You would be hitting enter twice to start a new paragraph in any Lemmy editor. Thats how you always start a new paragraph.
What do you mean? In Word, you click enter once, and the paragraph spacing is done automatically based on existing paramters. While not every word processor is Word, I'd argue that the one-enter process I described is still a pretty legitimate form of starting a paragraph.
We're on Lemmy.
You're at the end of a sentence, you just typed the period. Now you want to start a new paragraph. You hit the enter key, twice.
If you specifically meant on Lemmy, you shouldn't use language like "any editor" lol. Anyways, you edited your old comment just to continue being an asshat, so this was a waste of time. Bye!
Next time I'll have my lawyers review my comments before posting, and be sure to say something along the lines of "any editor *that you would use to post a comment on an Internet forum, and not while writing a word processing document". /s
I've got to give up assuming on Lemmy, as 'people' argue about the weirdest fucking minutia here.
Any Markdown editor, yes. But not everyone is familiar with Markdown formatting. People coming from text editors, forums, and word processors expect a single enter to start a new paragraph.
I'm using the website, and the standard editor. /shrug
I'm not aware of anyone who uses a word processor to leave a comment on Lemmy.
Even in a text forum, or a text editor, you usually double-enter between paragraphs. Single enter just looks too crowded.
