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.

Whoo boy, looks like the .world mods are enforcing silent compliance with fascist brutality again, thats a lot of highly upvoted deleted comments.
One of these days they'll suck the boot so far down their throats they'll asphyxiatiate, but at least they'll pass with joyful tears in their eyes.
Whenever I see "Removed by mod" on a .world community, I know it probably said something I agree with. News communities shouldn't be hosted there.
Maybe, but people need to learn to speak in plausible deniability. You can check the user's moderation history to see what they said. Fascists were able to advance their ideas without getting shutdown with indirect speak and double talk. Maybe we need to learn the same.
My comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.
e: Please check my moderation history to see what I said. I was the 3rd comment in that thread.
Fascists love to take the gun, but leave the cannoli…
They were talking about watering the tree of liberty. I'm sure you can find the correct quote and infer who was being referenced.
Whenever I see "Removed by mod" I check the mod log to see what was said. Its one of the best ways to get me to read and up/down vote something.
Patriots and tyrants, yep.
Careful…
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by patriots asking tyrants really nicely to please stop brutally oppressing them."

It needs a lot of watering.
Are there recommended news subs that aren't hosted on .world?
!news@beehaw.org has lots of subscribers.
(e: ~23k)
How do I get to it. I’m in .world. Clicking link tells me it doesn’t exist. E: weren’t they defederated by .world?
Stop being on world.
Leave lemmy.world obviously! Come join us at Lemmy.Zip
Or blahaj! We love everyone at blahaj as long as you don't hate us. Plus we have Ada.
Wait, you can’t see that instance from .world?
That sounds crazy. I’m not sure how this all works, but that sounds like a reason to create an account on a different instance, because it sounds like .world is censoring your content.
I can see pretty much all instances (unless I block them myself).
Or am I misunderstanding?
(Yes, I get defederation, but that seems overly restrictive)
.world defederate and blocked a ton of communities. obviously some of them seems bordering on illegal, but they are also blocking alot of other ones.
Could it be the other way around? Beehaw may have defedersted from World. They are a fairly restrictive instance much like blahaj zone.
i can see why blahaj blocks, because its a trans centric instances.
Oh.i guess I wasn’t paying attention.
My instance has blocked all the shady shit, but apparently not as much as .world. And I don’t see shady shit, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
its mostly all Porn that are boedering on CSAM, or SA that have been blocked when i looked on the list.
Wait, beehaw is? I guess I’m only subbed to the news community there, which was the second-most active news community after .world.
Is that instance shady?
I’ll stop recommending ot if so. O.o
i meant worlds was blocking some sketchy instances and communities.
Right, but is beehaw sketchy?
I’m not up on instances drama.
Okay, but you said:
What’s all porn, csam, or sa?
You replied this to my beehaw news community recommendation, and someone saying behaw is blocked from .world. Are you saying beehaw is those things? I’m very confused now.
Appreciate it! Subscription pending.
We need to move on from .world. Don’t upvote any posts here.
Should I not have upvoted your comment or….
e: I downvoted then upvoted you again to balance it out, just in case.
There are smaller instances with better moderation staff.
