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, 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.

…and restructure to put safety above profit.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 53 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Oh no, we need to encourage Zuck to keep going! It's been a string of failures one after another lately, he could tank the whole company at this rate.

Don't let the haters win Mark! You're a genius! NFT's are due for a comeback, you could corner the market if you reinvest!

[–] fake@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago

He was so close to success with the metaverse, maybe he should try that again!

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yes! Let's keep that fucker there, so the whole shit goes down.

[–] neuroneiro@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It has been the time since the first line of code was written.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was there. 3000 years ago.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Screw that. Let him ruin the company.

[–] MonsterTrick@piefed.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Dare I say that Facebook should collapse to the ground

[–] ratrace@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Meta is a nazi party. If you work for meta you are a nazi or one brain cell lamb in a den of wolves with zero self preservation

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The word 'nazi' continues on its path of dilution.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

No it means the exact same thing it always did. It's just that there are such a lot of them out in the open now, that it is used a lot more than ever since WW2.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

A Nazi is a person who was registered to the fascist party during the rise of the fascist demagogue in the republic. It's just a party affiliation. Zuckerberg would have been a nazi party member. It's like working for volkswagon or mercedez benz or hugo boss during hitler's time. Are those workers nazis? They helped support the nazi war machine and the nazi party.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Somebody called Zuckerberg would have been a nazi party member?

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

It’s time for Mark Zuckerberg to resign from ~Meta~ Life.

[–] ContactClosure@lemmus.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's time for meta to resign.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

...and his grand charade as a human

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

LOL, the guy Thiel invested in is going to resign? Then what?

Also:

But if Meta is truly interested in prioritizing the safety of users, the board should request the resignation of Mark Zuckerberg and restructure to put safety above profit.

You are kidding, right? When is a MNC going to prioritize anything over profit? You think they have been on the path of enshittification for well over a decade now for any other reason but profit?

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Or, hear me out, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

[–] zarkony@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That is never going to happen. He's maintained at least 60% voting power, so he can't be voted out, and he's certainly not going to voluntarily give that up. He wants to be synonymous with Meta/Facebook and entrench his power as an oligarch.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I bet if he ever does step back, he'll still keep majority voting power so he can step in if whoever he chooses to replace him fucks up and no one would be able to stop him.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

Nah. Better to have a stupid evil than smart evil. Let him run the company into the ground (here's hoping).

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Proposal: meta should seize to exist together with all other evil mega corps, Zuckerberg should get the guillotine together with all other billionaires and corrupt politicians.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

meta should seize to exist

Sounds painful.

I think I'm on board with it, though. :)

[–] VoodooAardvark@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago

There would just be someone else in line to take over all that cash flow to twist it into something different, not less evil, just something else. His focus has been all over the place so someone new with a laser focus on something else would likely be even worse, because that focus wouldn’t be for anything else than the same North Star of sucking up as much money as quickly as possible.

Damned as he stays, damned when he goes.

[–] Erusset@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, now is the time

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's also time for Zuckerberg to leave this life and reincarnate as a centipede.

But we'l continue to have problems like this as long as there are billionaires.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's time for Mark Zuckerberg to spontaneaously burst into flames and howl like a banshee.

[–] Gaslov@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've heard of Mark Zuckerberg. I haven't heard of Joan Donovan. Why the fuck does anyone care what some Joan Donovan has to say?

Ok, so this person has a wiki article and in it there was apparently some drama about how Joan believes she was fired from Harvard due to pressure from Meta, which the university denies. So now I guess this is her life now.
