Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

How? You log in with uname+pw. The server has all your secrets, so of course it can read your messages.

There’s a bit of a difference, no? Most big companies like that don’t usually let random employees snoop into private messages and the like. With mastodon you have to hope that not only the neurodivergent nerd running your instance doesn’t snoop, but the neurodivergent nerd running any other instance doesn’t snoop.

I once got suspended from reddit based on info I sent to a notable user. We were on the same wavelength and what I sent didn't break any rules, but it was too wrongthink. I know he didn't report me and what I wrote didn't have any naughty words, so it was very clear that a reddit employee read his inbox on the regular.

How do you "lose" registered users? Also what the frick is a "federated instance?" No one can tell me.

It's like email, where multiple platforms (Gmail, protonmail, Hotmail) can communicate using the same standard protocol. However mastodon frequently has servers block others for petty reasons so it's basically worthless.

Like email if Gmail blocked Hotmail users' mail to Gmail users because Hotmail did not block Protonmail users' mail to Hotmail users

Lmao. Gmail et al already block mail that isn't from one of the few approved consolidated hosts.
Try hosting your own email server and you'll find that out pretty quickly.

Twitter has always been dogshit. I remember when loading an URL had a 75% chance of saying "oops something went wrong, reload" for yeaaars. It was also a complete trainwreck 10 years ago, like multiple days of downtime. Right now it's pretty stable and links actually load

A few months ago they pushed an updated to the mobile version which would auto scroll you to the top of your timeline every time you hit the “back” button, so you’d lose your place every time you clicked into the replies of a tweet. 100% correct, twitter has been trash long before musk

The only thing they did well was frickery. I only use the mobile site, but that meant I'd have to deal with something gay every 6 months. The most annoying one was the pop up on every tweet with the X button in the upper left. It required two hands to read shit. Only made me not want the app even more.

Pegging is included in femdom although not necessarily happening in said femdom session it's a slippery slope and you know it. You've already been emasculated and slowly but surely it'll get worse. You'll go why not it's only a gag in my mouth to why not try my own c*m it's not gay it's from my own peepee not another mans to why shouldn't I get pegged it's not another man's peepee it's a woman! You'll then be wearing thigh highs and a dress. You can cope all you want but in the end you are just a cute twink.

I keep trying to host a small, single user instance and do shitposting on it. The problem is "the fediverse" means "act like Mastodon" atm. So you can make a great AP implementation and still get 500s and 404s because Mastodon decided to do it some other way.
Think my next attempt will be the Cloudflare one.
