News
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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.

Except the ones you can't acknowledge.
Oh, we can acknowledge and remove any calls to violence.
Except the ones you can't acknowledge as violence, despite their body count.
We acknowledge all calls to violence that get reported to us. Nobody gets left out.
Here's the problem from a lemmy user perspective:
Most of the calls for violence come from the anti-fascists. Whether it's anti-cop, anti-corpo, anti-billionaire, anti-Trump, anti-Israel, etc. That shit gets reported and shut down and it's probably 98% of what gets removed. 95% of it is a single user who gets banned over, and over, and over.
The other probably 2% is pro-Russia, pro-China, Ukrainian/Uighur genocide denial, but most users never see that angle on it.
Very little of it is pro-Israel, rah, rah kill all the Palestinians. I think they know better than to come here and start that shit. I have removed and banned some of it, but it's a tiny, tiny minority of what gets reported.
So if you look at the modlog, you're going to see a lot of removals and bans on the anti-fascist front, because they're the ones coming here starting shit against the rules and refuse to be told "No."
I think we've been over this, and there are specific things you literalky cannot see. You got that blind sight in you.
Though that does explain some.
If you think we aren't seeing it, report it. The report queue is the first thing we look at and the Admins have a bot to inform mods if there are too many unresolved reports.
