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.
I’m pretty sure everyone here died sometime between 2020 and 2022 and is in hell. We all just don’t know where we are yet.
I was born into a capitalist hellscape. Does that count?
I dunno, you’re not in a diamond mine, or locked up in a basement being sold for sex… and you can afford a phone
… so I’d say, relative to the many possible hells that exist on earth, a capitalist hell for you is pretty nice.
Edit: italic text added for clarification
All those other things happen in capitalist hell. It's incredibly selfish to think everything is fine if only you are fine.
That’s true. Good thing I don’t think that. Good thing I never said anything like that. I wouldn’t want anyone to hear what they wanted to hear, twist the original intent, and then send a retort designed to make me look like some kind of selfish person in order to make themselves feel superior.
Here, I’ll use your tactic: It’s incredibly hypocritical to suggest that you are living in hell because other people suffer, while you enjoy the comforts of a capitalist world. You are not living that hell. You are just viewing other people’s suffering, with popcorn, and offering up your thoughts and prayers.
