Not The Onion

Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

he installed “accountability software” called Covenant Eyes on his devices in order to abstain from internet porn

Covenant Eyes sounds like some Handmaid's Tale shit.

Hey, I have a local cult that uses that software.

They also like to pack a bunch of students into one apartment and then charge each of them $700*/month in rent.

*(Don't take my word on the numbers.)

Oh wow, I didn't know Xenos Church changed their name. Trying to mask themselves with a name change.

They also use a bunch of other names for smaller groups that are really part of Xenos. They know the reputation follows them.
