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. 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.

Nah, you don't get to absolve yourself like that. You provoked it with your incivility.
Take some responsibility for yourself.
Well yes, but actually no.
Regardless I hope you have a good evening and I wish you better interactions with others. I don’t plan on replying anymore.
...but actually yes.
I wish you self-awareness.
You're being rude
This dude has been nothing but friendly and polite. Saying shit you don't like is not incivility. You're being an asshole for no reason
Bullshit. This:
Is the polar opposite of polite.
That was after you and others acted like a jackass though.
The first comment I made in the thread was replying to it.
You're acting the same as everyone else, which is jackassy.
This person dared look for an upside, and you just had to be a cunt about it.
Take one minute and be introspective about how maybe you're the problem.
...Says the guy who wrote something demonstrably false and then just continued on like it was nothing when it was pointed out to him.
I'm starting to think you're just the original dipshit's sockpuppet.
See this is why people think you're an asshole.
You still haven't acknowledged your lie.
Lol
