This is news in the same way the McRib is news. Props to Doctor’s Associates Inc. for having a savvy enough PR team to turn a menu price change in the customer’s disfavour into a “story” a local outlet will pick up.
I’m having a hard time imagining that newsroom, though. “Addy, how much do you have on the Subway price-change rumour?”
It’s ultimately an editorial decision made after consulting with admins. There’s no evidence to suggest the new guideline will ever have to come into play, so claiming the community is already less useful is hyperbole. This is a prophylactic measure.
Your argument boils down to “I don’t care about anyone else’s triggers; you made a decision I disagree with, and everyone else should be forced to change so I don’t have to.” Which is not Beehaw etiquette. You are a guest here, and my obligation is to the Beehaw community.
This is far from the only instance with a U.S. news community. Subscribing to others without this restriction solves your problem.
This has nothing to do with textual news about Nazis, merely the photos included with the story. I agree the news needs to be out there, but there are only so many tools in the box for Lemmy mods.
Since image thumbnails load in the main feed, NSFW is the simplest approach to allowing people who don’t want to see Nazi flags to continue being subscribed to the community.
To be clear, I don’t know how much of a problem this will turn out to be. There’s always more than one source for a Nazi march story, and I’m expecting the AP to be very judicious in the art it moves; it’s other sources that concern me.
But this is not censorship; it’s about keeping the community feeling like a welcome place for as many people as possible. All one need do to avoid the NSFW requirement is find a second source without such imagery, which is pretty easy.
Is that fucker still around and trying to do initiatives? The $30 car tab thing was first on the ballot before I left the state in 2000.
If these are technical manuals, I see no issue.
But fucking fiction?
Sure. But it’s not like we can’t attach more in the future.
Historically, you don’t want to fuck with Switzerland. We like to blow up bridges and tunnels when threatened. But we’ll take your gold.
I see nothing from the AP that suggests anything other than what I was speaking about.
I never thought I’d have to use my dual citizenship, but this? This is an affront to the very ideals of this nation, or just going back to the original text. Doesn’t much matter, as I have an escape route. Now, I just need to set that in motion. Good luck to the rest of you.
“Very grim” would be a significant improvement.
Do you want to know more?
I’m locking this because it went off the rails. Y’all want to talk politics, we have a community for that.
This feels like a “may be able to” situation. Once they’ve completed a flight from New York to London, I can get on board with the notion of them being able to fly from New York to London.
Who the fuck is Alice? (if you do not get this reference, Gompie is what you’re looking for.)
So, we agree. I should have said “We are about to witness the collapse of corporate journalism in real time.”
But, let’s be reasonable, that should have happened in the '80s.
That’s all well and good, but it comes at the expense of the user experience.
A poor investment would be an improvement.
This is absolutely the problem. Everyone who said “so what” to Trump pardoning cronies will likely be up in arms that anyone other than Trump can do the same thing. We have a government that has presided over four decades of wage stagnation regardless of what names are on the org chart, and Trump offers, basically, “hold my beer.”
Following a man without understanding the necessity or purpose of his movement historically ends poorly. But that’s what you get for skipping world history, I guess.
