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.
Awesome. Dead website rolls out new features news at 11.
It cheekily reminds me of the fact that long after it became irrelevant Yahoo was famous for having an excellent best practices document for web dev (this was pre doing every fucking thing in javascript)
Very unfortunately x is still relevant, a lot. I hope I'll be wrong soon, but nowadays..
I'm going to move all zero of my videos on TikTok over to X right after I don't create another account on there.
TikTok has been DNS blocked (pihole) in my house for years and will continue to be whether it's owned by someone in the US or not.
Wish I could easily block Reels, YT Shorts also. Short Form video is an ADD crock pot IMHO.
YT shorts can be blocked (at least visually anyway) with the Untrap for YouTube extension. It also lets you modify many other settings, such as hiding comments, view count, the channel name, individual buttons, etc. It’s quite good. That and SponsorBlock are the real heroes.
Ya, the problem is I primarily use a shield TV (on my TV) and I know there are things I can sideload but meh, I just cannot be bothered.
I can hide them for 30 days at a time on my PC and they don't riddle my feed
Can they take their illegal immigrant CEO and roll the fuck out of my country? Or can the military assist with that?
Such a blatant power grab over the carcass that is TikTok (regardless of the unban it’s still been broadsided).
