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.

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.

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.

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.

There might be an important point in there, but suggesting that 500 companies are failing, when they're obviously very successful at what they're trying to do, is giving them both too much and too little credit.

Not fond of the headline in other words.

Edit - it also sidesteps the root of the issue: the social and economic system that is driving the ongoing destruction of our ecosystem.

They're not failing. They're actively choosing not to.

The problem with these lists, is that when the top contributor denies working to reduce their impact, the response is never a call to destroy them.

They are destroyers.

They need compounding fines charged to them every time they continue on this path.
