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. 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.

I had never heard of this person before a few days ago.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’ve heard of him for years and have ignored him from the start. He always just seemed like a giant douche canoe.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I think douchecanoe is technically one word

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Look at this douchecanoe sailing up in his douche canoe.

It's still one word even on mobile.

I'll let you take up the battle against auto correct if you think it worth the effort. I'll put my energies somewhere else.

I want to pronounce it "doosh-kay-noh", like volcano.

EDIT: just realised that posting while drowsy leads to spelling mistakes.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Fuck, now I can’t unsee this.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah you don’t want a hole in your douchecanoe.

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 13 points 3 months ago

I believe I only know of him because I have a teenager. I watch Youtube a lot and he's never on my feed.
