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.

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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

"Some customers are fed up and pushing back"

But continuing to buy things from them, yeah? Companies are not going to change until people stop buying from them.

Nobody needs McDonald's. I'm not even sure most people actually want McDonald's. Just stop going, seriously.

I hate McDonald's. I eat McDonald's. If I get into some tiny town or get off work in a tiny town at 11pm or later it's often the only place open.

What I don't understand is people who eat there by choice. I sometimes work with a guy who will go to McDonald's by choice, even with better/cheaper options, three times a day.

I wonder how much of McDonald's average franchise net income is from road warriors.

God damn. What fucked up nightmare is this if your ONLY choice is this toxic shitty unhealthy food?

You poor fucking bastard. Your health will pay for that in time.

A ton of people work poor jobs or unfortunate hours and have their health suffer for it. No need to rub it in, he clearly doesn’t think it will be healthy.

You can get $1 breakfast sandwiches and $2 mcchicken with free fries in the app. I definitely use it when I want the cheapest lunch or breakfast option
