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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. 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.

The censorship going on there is crazy. I understand a site needs to tamp down on violent rhetoric but they crossed the line into absurdity. They banned me for calling out the racism in the GOP platform.
You sound like a far left lunatic. Welcome to Lemmy!
Thanks! I came from Reddit too. Looking for a safer place to stay in touch with the community. Are we allowed to say the name of Mario's brother here?
Yes
Just keep in mind, "it's called the Fediverse because it's crawling with Feds."
Don't get stupid.
Nice lol. Feds love the avg worker, no way they giving up my tax dollars.
You can not only say Luigi, but you can also say that you wished it had started a trend.
The basic rule is that you can say what you want (and people can call you what they want for it!).
It would be polite to self moderate to an extent. No point getting the instance owners in to legal hot water. That's a massively higher bar than Reddit has set however. Chatting about and admiring Luigi is completely fine.
Aldo?
Hey that's why I'm here too lol
Same. 11 year old account got banned for saying something. I'm not even entirely sure what it was. They deleted it and gave me the finger.
Fine with me.
I got a 15 year old account banned for logging in via tor... they run a tor website for tor access on the tor network lmfao.
I had my account since the pandemic and I got one 3 day ban for "inciting violence" a few weeks ago and they didnt tell me what I actually did. It was lifted so I moved on and kept following the rules. Then a day after the article about spez caving to musk came out I was given a perma site wide ban for "inciting violence" with no working link to what I actually did. The admins wouldn't tell me either. I assume it's because of my activity in left leaning subs and my comments calling Musk a shithead and saying his toy cars are garbage.
They'll sweep ban entire comment sections of a submission they don't approve of and they're using AI to do it, so there are lots of false positives and dubious reasoning. They'll send you a message lecturing you on your behavior but delete your comment so you're left with only a vague idea of what they're referring to.
Before they used shitty AI, they just hired autistic mods who would exaggerate anything into a bannable offense of some kind.
And they wonder why their stock is tanking. The only outcome I see for reddit in it's current state is being bought out by Google and turned into a telemetry farm.
I want to see the comedy-of-errors timeline where Luigi beats the rap based on a technicality or jury nullification....He finally gets out of jail....Then he immediately does it again.
But joke aside, socialism and Marx aren't bad words around here. ☺️

Marx never bathed and had boils all over his body
Typical wook beggar
they are tamping down on the wrong kind of content, anything that disagree with israel, luigis incarceration, or elon and trump is an auto ban.
I have to admit I never thought they would punish users for simply upvoting content that went against their corporate overlords' interests. True thought policing.
