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.

Well, Rule 4 says, "4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source." And the source didn't put the country in the title.
This indeed raises an important issue with our current rules. I will be discussing a potential change to those rules with other mods to make it more clear that, if the article isn't very clear, you are allowed to alter the title (within reason).
If you could edit the title to make clear this is about the US, that would be great (:
Sorry for the confusion.
I added a [USA] tag. I hope that works.
Yes, thank you very much.
Can you put something in the sidebar to clarify whether this community is primarily for US news? We do have the worldnews community explicitly for non-US news.
This community is for all news at the moment, not primarily for US news.
The rule should probably be that it's required to be as descriptive or more as the title of the article. If you want to edit out click-bait, that should be allowed. As long as it's still just as descriptive it should be fine. (I understand this would be hard to enforce though.)
There's the rules and there's courtesy.
Perfect. I have a 1-on-1 meeting with my manager during that time.
"That must be the President of the United States calling me."
US defaultism
usatoday.com source...
Noo usatoday cant have us articles, I'm inbred please be understanding
No, it's not a national conspiracy to infect people with nanoparticles.
Lol
The fact that even needed to be said is concerning.
Of course not! This is how the Greys mind control us. Then they go back into their hollow Earth!
Cool. Another alert that will make it more likely that I'll ignore an actual alert.
My phone keeps sending me amber alert/silver alert messages from the other side of the state. I live in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. I get these alerts from El Paso. El Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to me. Las Cruces, just on the other side of the TX/NM border from El Paso, won't get an alert but I will.
I’ll be in a status meeting with my Canadian colleagues. I sense an opportunity to mess with them, here.
"Whoot was that eh?"
"The American call to arms. It has been a pleasure to know all of you in times of peace. I hope you all fair well and survive the battles to come. I suggest you surrender your petroleum products to the embassy before the conquest reaches here, that is your best chance at survival."
And just walk out of the room whistling The Star-Spangled Banner.
We test the same system in Canada a couple of times a year. They'll be familiar with it.
Ours is a lot different in sound and use, but those who live near the border will also be very familiar with the American EAS.
Everyone in Canada who has cable TV knows what the American EAS broadcast warning sounds like.
Nice try, guvernment
you can't fool me with your 5g rays
Only adolescents find this kind of humor funny.
no u
I rest my case.
Did anyone else read it as 4:20 for a second and think it was a joke at first? Just me? Okay.
Reddit humor
Good. Now I can bring a pair of pants that day because I shit myself where ever that annoying noise goes off
kwel. News communities over on lemmy are becoming as on Reddit: US news
I heard if you don't start furiously fellating an effigy of president bidet, you will receive a 5g covid pegging.
Jeez, everyone is a comedian in this thread.
Who shit in your Cheerios this morning? Half this thread is just you bitching about other people’s sense of humor.
Nobody. I'm just calling out bad humor for what it is.
If you don't like it, then maybe you should learn to take some criticism.
