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. 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 going to bet the guy manifested a car with his mental powers in an already-crashed state and then mind-wiped the guards and any witnesses into believing they saw it crash after altering the CCTV footage with his will.

Lol yep. It cracks me up when people think just because they aren't going to one extreme or the other with their speculation that they aren't still engaging in wild speculation. That's not how it works.

They specifically said they were speculating.

[–] jwelch55@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How could it ever be helpful to make up random guesses about a news article?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -3 points 6 months ago

This is an Internet comments section. If you're expecting everything to be 100% productive discussion, you're going to have a bad time.

Not everything has to be helpful

They actually didn't "specifically" say that. At all. Until editing their comment an hour after being called out.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They said "I'm going to bet". That's literal speculation.

[–] DxK@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Okay so you clearly do not know what the words specific and literal mean. Got it.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee -3 points 6 months ago

Apparently not, please enlighten me. I am eager to hear your definitions.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Shouldn't you delete this post since there's nothing to be discussed about the situation?

[–] DxK@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure you thought you just made an excellent point.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social -1 points 6 months ago

About as excellent as your post that nobody is allowed to discuss for some odd reason.
