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.

It was a terrible mistake for me to have become involved with someone so unstable, and I very much regret it. It is hard to know when a good faith conversation will set someone off, and I walked into that here. You need to heal from your traumas. Those are not my fault, and are clouding your perception of the world.
We're done. I regret encountering you, but will block you now so that I cannot happen again.
Hey bud, i see you downvoting me. What’s the matter? Blaming people for their misfortune didn’t help you feel better?
Take breath, there will be another natural disaster tomorrow & you can feel superior to others when you’re feeling a bit better.
I thought you were being a scootch unfair with this response, but I was very wrong.
I really try to be impersonal but may have pushed a bit hard. A review of their post history indicates professional level trolling.
Yeah, my instincts are just bad lol
HEY CHECK IT OUT!!! There’s been a 6.9 earthquake in the Philippines! You can blame some more victims!!!!
If you get there quick, you can be the first comment on the post!!
Go pal! It’s your favorite pastime!! Victim Blaming!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!
This one could be fun. This was teenager who was found a pond!
Whose fault is it this time? The teenager? The parents? The pond?
I’m dying to know who you’ve deemed worthy of fault for this one.
Unstable? I’m not the one wishing ill on strangers. No I’ve never said it was your fault, I just said it wasn’t the victims fault.
I’m not the one blaming victims of natural disasters. You are.
And you do it from a distance, over the internet…
