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, 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.

Nah man, zero tolerance for snitching. Period.

To elaborate:

cops are allowed to lie to you if they think it'll help their investigation. You can't trust a word they say.
You have no idea how information you give will be used or who it will be used against.
mind your own fucking business

-1) think you'll get a nice $50k reward for selling out a guy, then find out you didn't do enough to actually qualify for it.

Some policeman's brother happened to call in the tip an hour before conveniently along the same roadway and gets it instead.

No, Lemmy will crucify that person even if they had no clue about the situation at all.

Lemmy is all in on inciting violence

Edit clarification, I agree with you.

Of course, but we are here on Lemmy. When you say "let's not..." On Lemmy, you're addressing Lemmy

If you want to participate in threads where half the comments are deleted, go back to reddit.

We aren't inciting violence, the fat cats and their bottomless greed are.

Huh? A random person, who may not have known the news or reasoning, may be the target of the Internet's ire. That hypothetical sucks, and is all I'm discussing. Sure, they possibly did know the story, but remember millions of people are far less online/news attached than most here.

Edit be mad at ceos all you want, I'm not discussing that here. I'm discussing the potential person who spotted the person of interest
