Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. 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. Keep on-topic


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, 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.

You're also a three day old account on an Australian instance, with 234 comments in just three days, mostly Nazi killing content, who has posted that you "live here" more than once on just this thread alone.

For myself, I like quokk.au and looked into joining it, but the response times are way too slow for me on the East Coast.

Also, if you could clarify:

I live here, and I don’t trust Americans after this shit.

After what shit, specifically? It's kind of a strange thing to say. Me, I haven't trusted Americans my entire life, being one, but you -- some unnamed shit has changed everything about trusting the people of your own land. What might that shit be that has now ended for you and made you feel safe enough to share your concerns?

its true I didn't super trust them on a personal level, but after this I don't trust Americans to manage a McDonald's, wipe their own asses, or walk five steps without deciding everything bad that ever happened to them was caused by The Jews. I was kind of a misanthrope before all this, I thought I'd found the floor, and these mother fuckers burrowed through the mantle.

Huh. I'd have conceded us at least clean asses for the most part, but okay. I can't say I've ever really looked at my fellow Americans in exactly that light, or known any that do, but thank you for clarifying.

Any reason you still want to make your life and home among us?

[–] thinkingofyouihaveananxietydisorder@quokk.au 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I'm poor and you don't fix problems by running away.

[–] ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Fair enough. But to be honest I struggle to understand how you can despise and mistrust the people of my country from your heart, to the extreme extent you describe above, characterize us all as you do in the absolutely hopeless and irredeemable terms you used, and then talk about solving problems by not running away from us.

It makes no sense. That overwhelming contempt will not a single filthy American ass wipe clean.

You're right about Mickey D's, though.
