Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Thank you for being willing to stick your neck out there and say what you feel and see.

On social media, especially sites where voting seems to happen in packs, it's risky to have a counter opinion. Too many people just don't say how they feel if it's counter to the mainstream, and then their voices are completely drowned out.

Perhaps your idea is more mainstream than you know but those who share it don't have a willingness to jump into the fire, leaving those with more extreme positions thinking they have agreement with most when they don't.
