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.

They answered what you can do and you completely ignored it.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I didn't ignore it. I read it. What did you want me to say about it specifically?

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, something other than your usual ceaseless negativity would be refreshing.

I don't think I've ever seen you post something productive. It's just constant negativity, pessimism, tearing other people or ideas down.

I've never seen you react positively to a positive idea or add anything that would lead to any kind of actual improvement. And then when you ask "what can I possibly do" and someone replies with something you could actually do to contribute to the thing you're complaining about, there's no reply.

I get that you have tough life circumstances, but you're just not contributing anything to anyone with this stuff.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well then you should look through my post history to correct your hilariously false view of me.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

K, I just did. It was pretty reaffirming.

Then you must not have been very thorough, but you go ahead and believe what you like. The amusing thing is that you're berating me for not being productive which doesn't sound especially productive to me. Have you thought of being more productive?

(Also, what a corporate mindset! You must be productive even if you aren't being paid!)

Who am I going to believe, my own lying eyes?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How about my eyes? Like the positive and productive post you made where you lied about what I said?

I never said it was "irreparably damaged by crack seepage." Why are you lying? In my very first post, I expressed relief that it wasn't damaged.

That is what I was hoping to hear.

And I still say doing a stunt that even makes it look like you’ve done some real damage to Stonehenge right in the middle of a religious festival does not make you look like the good guys. People in another thread said it spread awareness. Who isn’t aware? I’m fully aware of climate change and there’s fuck all I can do about it.

But at least it was not permanent vandalism.

So... Did my negativity and lack of productivity make you illiterate or are you just telling a blatant lie? Because it's one or the other.
