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.

"There's no information yet so I'm going to make up an explanation which is the most likely scenario given that there's no information yet."

Brilliant.

I'm going to bet the guy manifested a car with his mental powers in an already-crashed state and then mind-wiped the guards and any witnesses into believing they saw it crash after altering the CCTV footage with his will.

Lol yep. It cracks me up when people think just because they aren't going to one extreme or the other with their speculation that they aren't still engaging in wild speculation. That's not how it works.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They specifically said they were speculating.

[–] jwelch55@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How could it ever be helpful to make up random guesses about a news article?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago

This is an Internet comments section. If you're expecting everything to be 100% productive discussion, you're going to have a bad time.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth -3 points 2 years ago

Not everything has to be helpful

They actually didn't "specifically" say that. At all. Until editing their comment an hour after being called out.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They said "I'm going to bet". That's literal speculation.

[–] DxK@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Okay so you clearly do not know what the words specific and literal mean. Got it.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago

Apparently not, please enlighten me. I am eager to hear your definitions.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shouldn't you delete this post since there's nothing to be discussed about the situation?

[–] DxK@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sure you thought you just made an excellent point.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social -1 points 2 years ago

About as excellent as your post that nobody is allowed to discuss for some odd reason.
