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.


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.

The Columbia spokesperson also said the protest “was not targeted at the secretary and dean’s class specifically, but all Sipa classes happening Wednesday afternoon”. They noted its organizers called it an “act of solidarity not tied to any political ideals or figures”.

Nothing to see here, just more misleading titles on Lemmy. Carry on.

I've noticed that reblog spam, misleading titles, non relevant content, and low effort content are all far more prevalent on Lemmy than I would usually in Reddit.

Personally I think it's due to the different communities generally having far more lax rules than their Reddit counterparts, resulting in being lower quality.

Imagine even taking a foreign policy course from a person who has referred to Henry Kissinger as her mentor and a major inspiration. Argh

Does she still get paid? If so, she probably doesn't care.

A class at a university is peanuts to someone like Clinton. She's already written multiple books. The speaking circuit pays millions for keynote speeches from people like Clinton. This whole "the Clinton's are just after money" only feeds the right wing hate machine.

Well considering only like 30 students walked out halfway through, out of a total of 300 or so, and that it was planned, known about and peacefully executed, I’m going to guess she paused briefly while they shuffled out, and then continued her speech to the other 270 kids still there.

Hey, nobody ever accused Hillary Clinton of caring. Words matter.

Walking out of anything involving Hillary Clinton is always the right thing to do.
