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 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.
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.
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.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
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.

Use the block feature. It's there
It doesn't actually do anything and is extremely easy to defeat.
Strange works on my end to filter out stuff
People can and will use alts to block evade with no consequences
Blocks don't actually stop the offender from seeing you and your posts. Alts are things.They actually are allowed to get the last word in an argument because they can respond to the last comment you made to them before blocking them, among other reasons.
Federation enables people to run alt armies to exploit and abuse the upvote system, or masquerade as supporters for their side in an argument to gang up on you. That's how they block evade with alts and get away with it, by pretending to be someone else.
All brought to you by the ill-conceived idea of federation
Just be careful out there
EDIT: Case in point, that guy down there trollbaiting. People like him will get butthurt and downvote you to hell if he thinks he can get away with it, which he can.
I fully expect you to do exactly that, via your alts, but welcome to being blocked, kiddo.
Yeah, you're actually supposed to click the three dots at the lower right hand corner of a user's comment to block them, just FYI. Also you're supposed to block them right after getting the last word in, not just say you blocked them. Unless blocking is completely broken now. 🤔
