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.

The only people who are obsessed with calling others Nazis are Communists who also consider democracy fascism
This is an article about Antifa. They aren't actually anti-fascist because they call leftists who simply aren't them fascists too and they want to destroy democracy.

It is incredible how much has not changed with how quick commies and, especially, anarkiddies are quick to condemn random objects and symbols as fascist dogwhistles as they choose to fly the banner of people who did the same exact thing, though the original antifa chose to ally with the Nazis in street battles and coordinate electoral campaigns, something that hardly seems to be brought up

Why do fediverse and substack users need so many quirky domains for the same website? With the fediverse I can understand not federating with some instances, but what's the point of 10 different instances with the same content and banlists?

Monthly "active users" seems to range from 1.6 to 1.8 million. Doesn't seem like it will be a viable alternative to major social media sites .

That's quite a large base. I think they could grow it.

I say this as someone who uses the fediverse, that userbase is the most neurodivergent and often insufferable groups of that size most of which refuse to even federate with eachother. It's going nowhere. Plus there's way too many fricking loli instances you need to filter for it to ever go mainstream.

I imagine this is something people used to say about reddit. Including the loli shit lmao (shout out violentacrez)

There's a huge difference between those two. In decentralized services you have to shop around for a server that federates with the other servers you want. With a centralized system like reddit's you don't need to do that; you just don't sub to /r/jailbait or whatever. In the case of the fediverse model you have people who run instances who will defederate you or be defederated by their owner for any reason arbitrarily and your account there cannot communicate with others. Some of these reasons include (for some) simply being a single user instance or allowing opinions the 2nd party server owner disagrees with; it also has the trend of defederating servers who even federate with servers you don't like. It's designed in a way that almost fuels fragmentation and makes it functionally impossible to be on a server where you can see and talk to the whole network given human behavior. It's naturally bound to break up into different sectors that could but don't communicate based on the few hundred or thousand people running the servers. At least a centralized thing like twitter is never going to stop you from interacting with others, short of them blocking you. So naturally dumb insulated communities form where they largely don't allow disagreement join together and don't associate with any others; the network is fricked, it's fundamentally broken.

Compared to rDrama and Wpd yes. I think these sites are too exclusivist to grow beyond a certain point. Someone commented here that antifa types view anyone to their right as fascist. This article is calling a billion+ people nazis. Not a smart way to shill your site(s) an alternative to the le evil megacorps by calling most of the world nazis.
Neurotic people will flock to this giving it an initial boost but (hopefully) they will stagnate if this is the attitude they carry.
