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.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
Well, when defined as a collective noun it does make sense, it's largely just "a group of people that support the same thing"
But I see what you're getting at: there isn't a head honcho for that organization (AFAIK). It's like trying to charge the head of the hacking collective Anonymous.
I'm all for people having rights and support and stuff, but some of them love to shove it in your face and put it everywhere (like Pink during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,"slap that shit on everything!) and it gets annoying after a while, like Pride flags in video games (Skyrim, Fallout and Starfield to name a few) or having the weapons be the colors of their flag (just saw these mods for Skyrim). Yes, I don't have to download them, but NexusMods is already a cesspool of shit quality mods that like 5 people out of the million or so that just the site will actually download.
Maybe I just get triggered when I see this stuff because I grew up in Southern New Jersey (a largely white farming town for the most part, Blacks make up a good portion as well) and my high school (about 2500 kids total) was half Puerto Rican. They would constantly chant/sing "PUERTO RICO!" through the halls, in the gym and other places. They'd also wear big, gaudy jewelry with the PR flag, paint the PR flag on their car, and then tie a small PR flag to the antenna. If you love it so much, why don't you go back there?
I'm partially German, but you didn't see me running though the halls screaming "Deutschland! Ich liebe dich!", carrying around German flag necklaces, and draping my Benz in the German flag. I don't think I've ever seen *any nationality do it like they do, anywhere".
Umm no? I'm not "scared" of them, I have nothing against them. I was hanging out with a gay guy last night and one of my friends from college is trans. Neither of them make being gay/trans their entire identity though.
People love to downvote when you say anything against a marginalized group. No one is allowed to have their own opinions anymore.
Oh yeah, totally 🙄 That's why I'm friends with people from multiple different races and cultures. Anytime you say you find something annoying there's cries of "homophobe!", "xenophobe!", or "racist!".
Also, you dumb fuck,Puerto Rican isn't a race, it's an ethnicity.
