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.

I wonder if we've lost anyone here
Is yogthos still posting?
From their comfy home in Canada? Probably.
Watch out, butt hurt mods will remove your comment, no reason given, if you recognize obvious trolls..
🤡
Not "butt hurt" - I volunteered for a job, and I do it. You broke rules. Rule 1 - "be civil" - you personally attacked another member of the community.
There's always the mod logs.
Just keeping the place civil by enforcing the rules. As I can see, you've been banned (temp/perma) 8 times.
The small kingdoms are ferociously defended. Small kings are like that.
But the obvious trolls continue with their obvious campaigns.
But it's civil lat least. 🏆
Also, how is posting how many times I've been banned civil or not "calling out specific members"?
Rules for thee, not for me.....
Me pointing to your comments isn't an attack. You just said the same thing as "don't point out my past actions!"
Sorry if your post history embarrassed you. Me pointing to it is in no was an attack.
No, it's a mod abusing their position. Again.

My post history doesn't embarrass me at all. It's butt hurt mods.
Again.
How very reddit of you.
"I'm always the victim, if you ignore my past actions!"
I'm out. Later Felicia.
What an average and typical mod 😘
I’m more mad at them for not hooking me up with a job 😆
But it paid so well
I’m sure sowing discord in foreign nations just pay better than what I do for a living 🤷🏻♂️
