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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

This is NotTheOnion, I'm sure you're right, but not really the place to be complaining about that.

Are you sure about that?

ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE

is the right place to be shedding light on genocidal dictators.

You sound like a censorship-happy Reddit mod.

Guy's so dedicated to going off topic that now he's complaining about Reddit mods. It's like a core personality trait.

Communities or subs exist for a reason. If you want to just scream your thoughts into the ether I suggest Twitter or any of the alternatives.

Or you just act reasonable.

It's ludicrous to act like you do and justify it because "everyone can simply block me."

One shouldn't have to block you. Act reasonable or fuck off because obviously Lemmy isn't something for you.

Welcome to the fediverse. The ability to block specific users that don't conform to your rigid, bullshit rules exists for a reason. Go back to Reddit if you don't like it.

Wow, you really seem agitated. Maybe it's time to take a break from the internet for a bit.

Woot woot. It's the 👮🏾‍♀️tone police👮🏾‍♀️!

Wow, you really assigned your current mood to a calm, innocuous comment I made about freedom of speech on the fediverse. Maybe it's time to take your own advice, you underapprecitated hero of fediverse tone-policing 👮🏾‍♀️.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Completely rational and stable response.

You know you can post too, right? Plenty of nottheonion-worthy Israeli stuff to post.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Good idea. Perhaps I will.

Lemmy is too full of teenage edgelords to ever be relevant
