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.

Looks like "clock app" (as many call it) is shifting into the final stage of its enshittification process, if even business partnerships are being blown off. No doubt many on here will be reflexively happy about that but it's really just sad to me every time I see potential wasted in any form.
TikTok is getting better. Not worse. It used to only be people lazy dancing to music half naked, and for sex workers to self-promote. Now it’s moving towards longer form and more thoughtful content. It’s not 100% there and it likely never will be, but it’s improving. It’s not getting worse.
So the algorithm has calibrated your feed to your personal preferences, just as it does for everyone else. Good for you.
Meanwhile for anyone wondering,
regular creators are having all kinds of problems with everything from changes to misleading and unfavourable monetization schemes to managing comments on their vids,
political creators aren't only having their content ignored when they meet thresholds that would propel non-political vids to be promoted (with often the very same person's record of political and non-political vids that are more commercially viable showing this difference), they're being silenced with strikes for "unoriginal content,"
users presumably who use the phone app (which I don't, lol) are complaining of increasing ads,
and everyone who tries to speak out against hate speech/bullying/harassment/trolls somehow gets punished for defending themselves.
What a fun environment! So not a hot mess at all /s
All those problems aren’t new. That’s what it’s always been like.
The political ones are new. The others have worsened.
