Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

wrong answer buddy, you're coming with me
I'm partial to my DrinkMate
ok so you arrest everyone who doesnt buy enough israeli products, put them in prison, use them as an enslaved workforce to reindustrialize the US, and make ukraine agree to buy everything this new US industry makes in return for weapons.
? how would you even police this
Pretty sure it's going to be used to arrest anyone in the BDS org
You don't, it's to shut up one more line of criticism towards the entity in media.
citizen, you WILL eat the sabra hummus
From what I’m guessing it’s a pretense to arrest leftists.
You know damn well they would never lay a finger on nazis who only hate Israel because they’re Jewish.
that website is embedding itself and asking for cookies, what the hell?
This seems like it could be a privacy / security vulnerability. Page content shouldn't load just by opening the lemmy comments.
Had been wondering about PeerTube embeds with their "watching this video may expose your IP address" warnings, if any requests were made that might expose your IP without explicitly watching the video.

It will be darkly funny if what causes Congress to overturn Citizens United is trying to stop BDS.
At this point, they should just pass a bill to make Hebrew as a second official language at 
considering the level these guys go to defend their FOB.
Getting branded with a star of david because cherry tomatoes suck ass and I don't want to buy them.
when the fuck did we get an In-Post article viewer neato
Co-sponsored by pro-Israeli lawmakers Mike Lawler and Josh Gottheimer, the legislation proposes punishments of up to $1 million in fines or up to 20 years in prison.
idea for a bit: start campaigns to "Boycott Mike Lawler" and "Boycott Josh Gottheimer". Put up yard signs and posters and billboards in each of their districts (NY 17 and NJ 5) with their names and faces on it, calling for them to be boycotted and for businesses not to serve them. Like signs that say "do not trust this man, do not do business with this man, this man supports genocide." Find out what companies they own stocks in or who they get campaign donations from and start boycotts of those companies. Boycott any companies their family members own or work for.
