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.
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.
There are numerous useful idiots. I know some myself that cannot sniff out even the faintest hint of factual accuracy or simply don’t care. If the article sounds good, whips them into a rage frenzy, or worships their orange savior, I have family members who can and will post and share that to anyone who will listen. It’s downright evangelical.
And they love doing it. It’s fun. An excellent investment for Russia honestly.
For the, what, 8th year the public has known about it?
More like 20th. This news is so old, it can buy liquor.
Mitt warned us.
Every once in a while, Mitt Romney will step forward and distinguish himself from his fellow Republicans by doing the bare minimum.
Unfortunately, his lack of spine quickly forces him back into line and doing stupid shit again.
Define public here. What percentage? And if they know do they believe?
Good thing unwitting Americans are so unreliable.
I am unwitting American and Trump would be good and reliable president for American Federation. Greetings from Ohio Oblast
Someone from Ohio? Keep an eye on this guy...
And it’s working very well right here on lemmy.
Mostly from ML 😇
Don't forget hexbear.
Don't forget lemm.ee!
I don't see much insanity. But I have zero tolerance for obvious bots and trolls, and blocked a few instances early on. (Haven't since then; they really are concentrated on just a few.)
Edit: I just checked my blocks and filters (using Sync app), and I only have a few users blocked, no instances, etc. Lemmy.world must just be doing a good job moderating.
Just a few weeks ago there was a surge in idiots claiming that abstaining from voting was the best approach. It seems to have subsided.
I automatically assume anyone that says that has a negative IQ.
Got one right here boys! Tanko is just a larger tankie, right?
I swear it's like mainstream is finally catching on to what I knew a decade ago.
Well Russia is in lucky cause there is no shortage of unwitting Americans
Can we investigate the politicians that fly to Moscow for secret meetings?
This is getting in the way of America relying on unwitting Americans to spread disinformation.
the Chernobyl sarcophagus,
For president!
That one is actually pretty awesome and useful!
Looks spiffy too!

Remember, there is a Maga project2025 guy running important stuff on Facebook now
And Americans are willing to put in the work and build a better tomorrow. It's all Da and no Nyet from us!
Sigh... I wish my aunt and my cousins could understand shitty photoshop but they can't.
