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.

Listen. It's not sad, it's prudent. Sarcasm and irony is how 4chan brought the nazis back. Sarcasm tag is about denying horrible people space.
Yeah but I don’t give a shit about 4chan and anyone who can’t ride the fine edge of sarcasm and knowing will be outed after a few posts and then bosh they get the block. Besides, it’s like explaining the joke. It’s less fun.

That's not what I mean. I mean if you're sarcastically an asshole, assholes use your comment to recruit kids into thinking this is a normal way to act. The /s isn't so you don't attract nazis or attract them to the platform. It's so they can't use your lame joke to make the world an actively worse place to be.
Sarcasm really only works in juxtaposition to who you are as a person. This is the internet, I don't know who the fuck you are. Kinda ruins the humour if you think about it for more than two seconds.

Whatever you sent isn't working on my end
Wow that's an even better metaphor.
That you have nothing to contribute except being a smug asshole? Agreed
