Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Is this website just full of deranged people like Reddit?
It's worse. Much worse.
You're seeing the US fall into fascism in real time, and this is what you're concerned about?
Hey, y'all… let’s go back to the old internet rule of not feeding the trolls. There’s a small enough amount of people actively posting right now to stop those users in their tracks if we ignore them.
In the attention economy don’t give them attention.
I appreciate it, but my comment was just as much of a throwaway comment, intentionally so
Yes, it's not you, it's the whole world that is deranged
I like this comment because you can put it under anything.
It's such a nothing comment; the only side it picks is that the commenter posting it is better than everyone else, and wants to invite argument for arguments sake.
Can't put my finger on it, but it's very "Twitter bot"-esque.
Account is only 2 hours older than the comment, so you're probably spot on with the bot assessment
