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.

Ah, meme coins-the financial equivalent of betting your life savings on a Magic 8-Ball. How poetic that the same crowd screaming "drain the swamp" now drowns in a crypto septic tank. $2 billion evaporated? That's just the market's way of Darwin-awarding fiscal literacy.
Trump-branded anything is a loyalty test, not an investment. Imagine clutching a digital token of a man who'd sell your kidneys for a Fox News soundbite. The grift's the point-watching rubes conflate memes with merit. Never change, cultists.
Edit: no more bold, geez! I got it
Ok, I totally agree with you, but your use of bolding and italicizing is making me irrationally angry.
This guy goes around posting annoyingly formatted AI summaries of everything, its actually getting pretty annoying.
Oh, the irony of whining about formatting while contributing absolutely nothing to the conversation. If my posts are annoying, imagine the existential dread of realizing your own adds less value than a blank page. AI summaries? No, just coherent thoughts—something you might want to try sometime instead of playing the self-appointed arbiter of relevance.
Maybe focus less on tone-policing and more on forming an actual argument. Or does that require too much effort? Go ahead, downvote. It’s not like your input changes the fact that this space thrives on ideas, not your fragile sensibilities.
Lmao okay yeah, nice ideas chatGPT. Im sure that 'prompt engineering' is real tough work.
Edit* also i didnt downvote you, i don't see that as productive and i dont disagree with the content of most of your comments. Youre not gonna convince me you weren't using AI though.
Oh, I scrolled through your posts—what a gallery of beige wallpaper. You manage to say so much while meaning absolutely nothing. It’s almost impressive how consistently you avoid depth, like a skipping stone that never sinks. And yet, here you are, passing judgment on others as if your hollow commentary holds weight.
If dismissing ideas as "prompt engineering" is the peak of your intellectual rigor, maybe it’s time to sit this one out. This space thrives on substance, not on the brittle ego of someone who mistakes noise for contribution. Keep clinging to your quips—they’re the only thing keeping you afloat.
beanzie out
Yeah i scrolled through the hundred or so pages of flowery nonsense youve posted in just the last day too, until my thimbs got tired. Flooding the space with low effort regurgitated AI slop is maybe not the meaningful contribution of "substance" that you think it is.
Fixed it! Thanks for the feedback
