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.

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.

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.

Thanks. (Clickbait title = article downvoted)

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What if the title is bad but the article isn't?

[–] SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still shouldn't reward news sites for doing this unless you want more clickbait titles.

If the community allows, posting with a better title is also an option.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is that a change? I might be confusing things but I thought it had to be the exact title.

[–] SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't check for this one, some news communities require it, some don't.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Technically white hydrogen and the article explains why that might be important

Oh ye more finite energy sources will save us forever while we're ~~sawing off the brach~~ fracturing the ground we're sitting on.

Also ye the title is shit

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Community rules say I have to use the same title. I didn't like the title but I thought the article itself was pretty good.

[–] SirToxicAvenger@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

between 6 million and 250 million - that's a hell of a spread.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah that was one of my least favorite parts of the article. I really wish they said why it couldn't be pegged down more accurately.

[–] ono@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clickbait titles always get me to click... the downvote button.

[–] Salamendacious@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

That's fine. I still think the article itself was pretty good. You're obviously under no obligation to read it.
