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.

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.
Someone should just start putting out fake Trump articles with super-weird headlines and no-one would notice - anything is plausible with this guy.
Challenge: 50% of these headlines are real, can you spot which ones?
1, 2, 4, 8, and 9.
3, 6, and 7 require too much physical ability to be true. 5 and 10 are both plausible, but I doubt they’d be a headline.
Congratulations, here’s your lemmy lemon! 🍋
Finally, a prize I can use!!
I’m just glad I didn’t win a lemon party.
🍋 🎉 💦 😩 🥵
Never too late!
🤔 I want to make lemon bars out of that
Winner! Well done. You win a Trump Prize Pack containing a signed MAGA hat, a pack of Trump NFT cards, a genuine Trump tupee with pre-combed slick back and sides, a framed copy of his love letter to Kim Jong Un the North Korean dictator, and a McDonalds voucher for a years supply of cheese burgers. Look for it in the mail.
I assume “trump’s nft cards pack” is just a pack of low-quality printed cards that simply say “nft” somewhere on them? :)
Um, th-thanks, I guess..?
The love letter would be interesting to see, as would the nft cards, but maybe I can auction the rest. Lol
That's exactly what we need, more fake news.
1, 3, 4, 8 and 9?
Close, but still good enough for second prize. Good effort.
You win a life-sized cardboard cutout of Donald Trump with touch activated audio loops of all his most memorable Presidential quotes, such as: “And yet I’ve gone decades, decades without a war. The first president to do it for that long a period.”, and “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK? It’s, like, incredible.” and “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”. Look for it in the mail.
Maybe someone could take over that weird network of fake local news sites that exist to push right-wing agitative propaganda and instead push fake trump headlines
Definitely 10
