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.

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.

A new report shared with VICE News outlines the massive growth so-called Active Clubs, neo-Nazi fitness and fight clubs, have experienced in both the United States and internationally.

"The groups are explicitly white nationalist but, like some other modern racist groups, try at best to hide their true intentions."

"Explicitly white nationalist but...try at best(?) to hide their true intentions".

So the opposite of explicit?

This article has an alarming amount of errors and typos for a vice article. I'm sure the reporting itself is correct, and don't let anyone recruit you to an active club, but blatant errors and self-contradictions in the article detract from vice's credibility as a news source.

Did a new guy write this or has the general written quality of vice articles lessened lately?

I only read vice articles nowadays when I stumble across them, but I remember vice articles as generally being well-written(or at least correctly written).

Maybe that distinction of explicit but unsaid was not well communicated but it's absolutely the reality in fridge hobby groups.

fridge hobby groups.

I always knew the cool kids were bad news.
