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 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, blogs, 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.

I wonder how this would apply to the Fediverse. Is Texas going to sue individual instance owners if someone posts some boobs?
Hey Paxton. Come at me bro! boobies
And here's a pair of tits to go with them!
They belong to a real nutcracker
(I suspect more ornithologists need to grow up…but I’m glad they didn’t.)
Hey that needs a NSFW tag! /s
Worried we’ll all be KYC’d and linked n stuff some day
Yeah probably. How long until every site with user generate content starts banning texas?
In the worst case, it’ll be something like piracy communities. You can bully lots of small instance owners, but there’s always going to be someone who’s willing to host it someplace where enforcement is lax.
Texas should go after Twitter.
Do they have a physical presence in the state, though? If they don’t, then Texas has no authority whatsoever over them. A physical presence is the only way kowtowing to these fascists makes any financial sense.
Laws don't apply the same way. Paxton was suing other states and out-of-state hospitals for surgery information related to gender. They've gone off the deep end
People should really think about how much money is wasted on bullshit laws.
Imagine all the advances in science we could be making, all the homes we could be building, and all the children we could be feeding.
But instead, we spend money to ensure rich people can make more money.
It's fucked.
Nah, this is for political points, not utility. They're only interested in the big ones who can get them some money, which ~~definitely won't be wasted on blackjack and hookers~~ will be used for political campaigning.
