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

Apparently the suspect is a second-generation immigrant with parents from Rwanda, but they're Christian (like the large majority of people in Rwanda) according to their neighbors. Source. Sorry that it's Fox, but the more reputable newspapers don't seem to be publishing this information, presumably because it hasn't officially been announced by the police due to the law regarding suspects under 18. Not that contrary facts would keep these rioters from damaging a mosque...

That seems extremely pertinant and damaging to the narrative they want to concoct. So of course it wouldnt be reported on.

If this was the US those people would be dead

Three police dogs were also injured, with two sustaining leg injuries from having bricks thrown at them and a third suffering burns to her back leg.

1000%

Correct, in America the dogs would've been shot

Oh, you don't want to hurt a K9 in the US. If you are lucky enough to survive the trigger happy police officer, you are looking at serious time.

Does anybody want this bot?

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I think it's good. It promotes thinking critically of bias in news sources without forcing anything on you.

I think it's a good bot

[–] tissek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I enjoy it and the extra scrolling doesn't bother me. Well it bothers me much less that the information it provides.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool. Every post I've come across for it has been in the negative, so it made me wonder.

[–] 3ntranced@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The negative votes are from whichever side's bias it doesn't follow.
