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.

From the article ...

“Without these standards of decency and morality, this planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.”

AKA, "the center will not hold".

I want to live in the alternate timeline, with President Sanders.

Sanders is doing right now, exactly the right thing. Its the thing Biden should be doing but is seemingly incapable of. Its being on the right side of history as history is happening and not accepting some fatalistic inevitability about the future.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

not accepting some fatalistic inevitability about the future.

He is describing an inevitability; Socialism or Barbarism.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Considering what's happening around us currently, I've started believing that it's actually barbarism until socialism.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Heard on the news today that Biden said that it is not genocide in Gaza. He really wants to lose I guess.

I voted, donated, and knocked on doors for Sanders. He should be our president not the fucking lesser evil Biden.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Oh man. If the TV news said its not a genocide, it must not be! Right?

Bidens a fucking disgrace.

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm still going to vote for Biden. He is wrong on the Gaza situation, though has made strides elsewhere.

Unfortunately it is also either him or possibly THE Idiot Savant. Would prefer ol' Bernie, even today.

Literally today.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I voted for Biden once I will do again to keep Trump out. But after that I am done. Either progressive take control of the party by 2028 our this country can burn for all I care. Done with this bullshit.

Wake me up when we are ready to riot.

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Honestly? I agree. Biden will give us a few years to get our shit together. Though I hope there will be people who are able to pull others together for that exact reason.

He’d be rounding out his second term right now. He was clearly up to the task. I hope he remains in the Senate until he passes. He’s an exceptional person, who should be treated as such, like RBG.

He’s an exceptional person, who should be treated as such, like RBG.

The close friend of Scalia's who opposed worker's rights, indigenous rights, and held up the constitutionality of solitary confinement? The one who prioritized her ego over not giving Trump an extra SCOTUS pick?

I have my criticisms of Bernie, but I would never put him in that category.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I wasn’t aware of those votes. I’ll look into them. Thank you for pointing them out to me.

Her strong stance against gender and sexual orientation discrimination, and support for undocumented people as well as people with disabilities is why I mentioned her as an advocate for the people.

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

She also stayed on too long even when others were begging her to retire because Hillary Clinton wanted to pick her replacement. And then...

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago (2 children)

We also wouldn’t be dealing with this trump circus. The DNC really fucked everyone over

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

I wholeheartedly blame that election on Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

And they're doing it again right now but for some reason people lose their shit when you speak about it.

[–] CosmicCleric@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

He’d be rounding out his second term right now. He was clearly up to the task. I hope he remains in the Senate until he passes.

I fear that if things get any worse, we'll have to "Weekend at Bernie's" him.

There are worse ideas. I won’t tell if you don’t.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope he remains in the Senate until he passes.

I hope we get enough progressives in the Senate so that he can retire.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

67 + 2 in the event one dies and the another resigns?

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'd prefer if he leaned more heavily into supporting upcoming socialist politicians throughout his state to help lead the next generation of leftist politicians into power.

How do you add some text automatically to the comments/posts? Or do you do it manually?

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How do you add some text automatically to the comments/posts? Or do you do it manually?

You mean like this?

Put a > Then paste the bit of text you want to quote

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

No like a forum signature so I can put the AI excluding loicense without doing it manually which would make me kill myself

I'm not sure either, but you could try posting on !lemmyapps@lemmy.world

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Ahhhhhh, gotcha. Sorry, can't help with that.

Its done manually, a copy and paste of the following text ...

[–] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Hey I started doing this recently and I am using a text expander to make it easier.

Edit: What it does is add a shortcut that automatically pastes the whole thing if you enter a shortcut phrase.

Does lemmy do different font sizes? It'd be nice if it could look like some fine print at the bottom.

[–] Danterious@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I am already using subscript so it should show up as smaller than the other text. But some clients treat it as a cross out.
