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

Just imagine the impact if she took her accounts to pixelfed / mastadon. You'd get all the fans to follow her.
Hell, she could create her own server and be immediately one of the most popular in the network.

taylor @swiftie.world? None of her fans would find it confusing to choose which server to sign up to.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think this is less a statement on Swift fans and moreso fediverse than you realize.

[–] skvlp@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think we’re on the same page here. I was referring to the fact that a lot of people find it confusing that they have to choose instance when they create an account 😊

Yeah, I've seen quite a few users here take that to mean that people are idiots vs fediverse being hard to use.

[–] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io 56 points 3 months ago (1 children)

She would have to make her own server. She would overwhelm and destroy those sites.

She would have to make her own server.

THAT. Is genius.

lemmy.swifties,io or whatever. Yes.

the new twitter is wherever the critical mass of users go. so far that is nowhere.

Twitter had something like 500 million users at its peak, and is likely still In the high 300s/low 400s.

Adding 2 million out of the projected 20 million Brazilian twitter users still isn't it. Twitter is still where the critical mass is, just maybe not for Brazil due to external factors.
