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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments 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!

There was nothing vague about the implication when I "parroted" the origin and definition of the word lmao

Calling me an NPC makes you sound like a 4chan user which is not helping your case that you didn't mean it offensively

Dude's banned now. Once I saw the "NPC" shit (common term from white supremacists) I realized just removing his crap wasn't going to be enough.

Hey, I appreciate that. I was kind of hoping he'd say "oh shit I didn't realize that" and take it back but tripling down like he did says a lot about his intent.

Yep. I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but when they reveal themselves to be actual proud bigots, the likelihood that they'll bring interesting and engaging conversation to the table drops to zero.

Plus, I don't want to moderate a community that tolerates that crap. You know the Nazi bar thing? I don't want to run a Nazi bar.

Ackshually, the N word isn't racist anymore. I've invented a new definition that only I use and it trumps common usage. You are an NPC to think otherwise
