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.

“Elementary-aged children are now asking questions about sex, gender identity and pronouns and gender presentation,” said Aaron Driver, whose child attends the school, in comments shared by the Libs of TikTok account. “That creates an educational issue, and therefore a parental rights issue”

Aaron driver is a shitty parent

Conservatives are such a heady mix of stupid and dishonest.

Both in fact

I guess stochastic terrorism just isn't a crime? She's been doing this targeted harassment for years. Our country is failing partly because the law just isn't enforced on anyone like this. The fuck is going on?

It's only terrorism when it comes from the terrorist region of Afghanistan.

When a Zionist does it, it's Sparkling Free Speech.

Can confirm. I know someone who lost their career over this bitch.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 20 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

What a confusing headline. I don't think most reasonable people would know or assume that 'Libs of Tiktok' is a conservative hate group.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 6 points 4 hours ago

Precisely the point. It's a literal false flag.

It’s one of those iykyk things. I detest TikTok and refuse to use it (and short form brainrot video bullshit in general), but I’ve been aware of it as a hard-right channel/user/whatever for a while now.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

When's the last time you ever heard a liberal refer to themselves as a "lib"?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world -4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know any leftists that refer to themselves as liberal at all, so anyone who does accept the label I wouldn't know what they call themselves.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I'm a liberal and that's what I call myself.

There’s nothing gross about being a liberal.

Cool.

Don’t forget to vote in the primaries and mid terms this year I know I will be.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 2 points 28 minutes ago (1 children)

Sorry your candidates keep getting their asses kicked. Don't worry you still have John Fetterman though I guess. So enjoy that...

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

Remind me was John Fetterman the one that leftists were excited about then he turned or was he the one with nazi tattoos and a history of sexual assault?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Less of a group and more just a cunt named Chaya Raichik.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 hour ago

Yeah I don't understand why the media doesn't name her.

Oh wait maybe I do...

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 hours ago

JFC. Chaya Raichik is so gross.

I'm so glad TikTok isn't owned by those nefarious censorship loving foreigners anymore.

[–] Headofthebored@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

That shit was hilarious. Popular platform owned by China who didn't censor anything but presumably anti-China topics, but the US couldn't censor or suppress any of what they wanted, because they didn't control it, and they were big mad about it. It was fun while it lasted.

About time someone stands up to elementary teachers. You can't bully me anymore Ms Sikes!
