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.
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.

Damn OP, you really farming internet points with the long-ass list of crossposts I gotta get through before I could write this comment lol
You've got to go through them? How so?
No points to farm on Lemmy, it doesn't even keep track of your totals. I just like spreading labor news.
Kbin just pushed out an update that shows where else in the fediverse the linked page was posted. I don't know if there's anything similar on Lemmy.
That seems like an ill advised design choice. At least roll up the list into an autocollapsed div that shows a count of the total xposts until you click on it to expand.
It's a more compact view
If posts are made back to back then they can fill up the All communities feed, which is still how many people browse.
Kbin.social update today, we can see crossposts now. On here they now show up as a list below the current post. They're probably surprised to see it for the first time haha.
That's a cool feature. I wonder why this was crossposted to Gaza though.
I think you misread that, its ghazi, not Ghaza. Their community's description is "A community for progressive issues, social justice and LGBT+ causes in media, gaming, entertainment and tech" which sounds like exactly the kind of place this news belongs lol
Oh I 100% misread that, haha. Yeah that makes way more sense.
You have 584 post karma and 251 comment karma.
Karma is worthless here.
It was worthless on Reddit too 🤷♂️
Not as much.
Reddit had hard coded limits on posting and commenting that went away after a certain threshold of karma showed you could be trusted.
Some subs also had minimum karma levels that you needed in order to post and comment to keep griefing down.
The karma clubs weren't really a big deal, though.
Yes, but those limits were very low.
Before reddit changed the karma algorithm so that it's easier to gain karma, I was a member of /r/centuryandahalfclub, for people with at least 150,000 combined karma. It was mostly pictures of animal penises.
The manass in CenturyClub was better.
Indeed it was.
I have read that so many times but have never seen any links to examples of actual sales.
Edit: Did a quick search and found thousands of accounts for sale but the average price was ~$0.20.
I seriously doubt that selling accounts could generate any real revenue worth the time and effort for anyone living in a western country.
Karma always has value.
Karma never had value
