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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

MODERATORS
This is pure cope from the talentless cretins who ran jezebel (into the ground, all by themselves).
They had not produced any meaningful journalism for several years. But sure, their downfall was caused by the secret conspiratorial algorithm that took ad money away.
So Cory Doctorow - y’know, the guy who created the term “enshittification,” is also just “coping,” eh?
There’s a bigger issue here than just a site you don’t think has value shutting down.
Yes. Half that post is whining about conservatives and the other half is just repeating the content from the 404media article, without adding any additional value.
When your business model revolves around ad money, you toe the line or die. It has always been this way.
Jezebel died because it had no readers, not because its content was so upsetting to The Man that they were demonetized. We're just hearing the pearl-clutching righteous indignation of people too proud to accept that they lost because they suck.
Holy shit I don't even know where to start with the massive list of strawman arguments put forth in this article.
It decries "woke capitalism". Lol
Wtf is woke capitalism?
The first amendment statement is just simply.... wrong.
The idea that the problem with social media is really that people aren't allowed to just say anything without limitations is outright wacky.
Yes let's just end terms of service...says this guy apparently.
These people are dangerously clueless.
