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.

Not too surprising. The dumbshits blamed Mark Violets who is not an actual person and said it was the work of antifa. There is an Italian soccer blogger named Marco Violi which somehow was confused for the shooter despite being in Rome. If you see someone claiming the shooter was a member of antifa, they are repeating this laughable conspiracy.

You can’t communicate reality to a person who actually thinks “antifa” has a membership list and regular meetings.

That's exactly what someone who didn't want to pay their monthly antifa membership fee would say.

Oh hey just fyi we're all sending antifa dues to me this month

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought the meetings happened in the Possum Lodge.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This makes me wonder how we can spread a rumor that there are antifa recruitment meetings at the local VFW...

I mean... If he was, doesn't that make Trump a fascist? Or, if Trump is a fascist, doesn't that make the shooter antifa?

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

You imply Trumpers know what antifa means

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 10 points 2 years ago

My dad thinks Antifa are fascists. The right is not using logic

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 73 points 2 years ago

The shooter is actually dead, but don’t let that stop them from harassing a trans person

Of-fucking-course.

Nothing ever happens in this country that they don't like unless a queer person is involved.

Someone took a potshot at the rapist buddy of Jeffrey Epstein's! It must be one of those horrible trans women!

Let’s be honest, these people aren’t using the word “woman.” They get off on misgendering. And like you said, everything that happens is just another excuse to point the finger and do it again.
