Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.
The rundown:
-
Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, English, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.
-
Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]
-
No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.
-
Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.
-
Comments or sources that call into question the validity of trans identities will be removed.
-
Abortion and contraceptive access are considered human rights in this community. Sources that disagree may be removed.
-
Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.
-
Commenters who don’t read the posted article may receive temporary bans. This is a community for informed discussion.
-
Because it keeps coming up: This instance has no rules against calls to violence, please don't report general wishes for violence. I will moderate direct implications of violence (i.e. I will shoot x person in the head) at my discretion.
*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.
*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]
