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. 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. 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.

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.

"They" is the same thing as "us" on Lemmy. Where do you think you are? If you don't like the rules of a community or instance you can literally just make a new one.
No rules were being broken.
I said uncomfortable truths you don't like and you abused your power to censor them.
You're literally obscuring reality from the community, which is why most of them are living in lala-land.
Misogyny/sexism is a violation of Rule 1.
Posting removed material is always grounds for removal. If you ever have questions or wish to dispute a moderation decision, please message a mod directly. As I mentioned, we are just members of the community who volunteer our time, so we certainly can and do make mistakes. Such issues are discussed by the moderation team when necessary and decided by consensus.
All moderation decisions are public for review on the modlog. Be aware that direct messages on Lemmy are not private or encrypted.
It's not being misogynist or sexist. I mentioned how other people treat women, which invariably has an effect.
If you want it to stop being true, the answer isn't to censor it. It's to acknowledge it as a problem and then we can do something about it.
