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.

It's called personal responsibility. You should learn to accept that some subjects are going to be taken seriously, because they are (literally) life and death circumstances. If you don't, they'll just be taken seriously anyways, and you're the asshole.
If I had to trust some internet rando with my life, I'd have no qualms choosing @Etterra@lemmy.world .
Attacking my sense of personal responsibility because I said "can't have 2 rule number 1's"?
It's not me that looks like the ass but go off, hole!
No. Not at all. That's not the comment I replied to.
Supporting the person who does take it seriously, though, when you make fun of him with that dull take? Absolutely.
I'd hardly call what I said making fun of him. If you're that sensitive though, like I said - go off. You won't hurt my feelings fella.
There's nothing wrong with me saying what I said in my original comment. It was lighthearted poking. That's all.
Mr serious decided to jump in with the 99 rules of gun safety that I'm an idiot for not nodding along solemnly to.
Why wouldn't I jab back? If I were trying to be rude I would have been rude. lol.
You should take my previous advice and chill. It's not that serious - once again.
You're clearly the dull one here.
shrug I've already said what I need to, and nothing you said is unexpected or new. My opinion stands, yours stands, and time moves on. Have a good one.
You too
