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.
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.

I'm 62 years old, which probably makes me the Uncle Fester of the fediverse. Even so, this piece of shit does not represent me.
I work for a living -- this motherfucker has never worked in his life.
Moreover, this teint of the universe has the mental acuity of a rotten turnip.
What a fucking joke.
Yay older people on Lemmy! High five.
Older folks have an obligation to keep up. I've been using PCs since 1982 and built a few.
But I don't know Jack about coding. Since reading a lot of the conversations about the move to the fediverse I realize I need to up my game.
I was an original Livejournal member, and Lemmy has the same feeling.
Its too soon to tell, but right now Lemme seems more hospitable than Reddit towards the end. But I reckon we'll have to see how the inevitable incursion of bots and trolls affects the atmosphere.
Usenet forums representing! That is what Lemmy feels like to me right now. Those Usenet newsgroups.
yeah I'd feel real bad for anyone this happened to.... but Mitch?
I hope he's tripping locked-in syndrome hard. His handlers aren't doing him any favors, at this point it's getting a very creepy weekend-at-bernie's feel.
Diane Feinstein (who was awesome, but.....) and Mitch both need to sail off to a hospice. If their people truly loved them, they'd let them retire.
I agree. They both need to retire, along with some others. Leaving us with the young insane ones.
he's like 1.5 generations separate from you, don't worry. not that he represents people his age either
Hear you. None of these rich asses can represent generations of people who have been barely hanging on financially by their front teeth for decades.
