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.

I imagine their pitch now is that since Elon destroyed Twitter, Reddit will somehow replace it. I hope finance tards don't fall for that. Twitter was already DOA when Elon got his hands on it. Spending actual real world money on Reddit isn't going to be any better investment. Like buy a hotel or a steel mill or something, not some Silicon Valley fantasy pretending it's still 2003.

People keep saying this - twitter is pretty good right now in my opinion. It's raw. It's striking a good balance between real candor, and not being poal.
This makes a lot of people angry because they got used to a society where you just had to cede rights to an opinion on a topic once a lawyer somewhere figured out how to recast it as a civil rights violation or seditious conspiracy.

Twitter is shit, but it was always shit so nothing has changed except the chuds came back out of hiding.
Now it's r-slurred radical shitlibs and r-slurred chuds and blue and red boomers and r-slurred bluechecks.
Oh and some professionals that only post about their line of expertise and that's it.

Calling people cute twinks isn't chud exclusive behavior, r-slur. Imagine thinking people not getting banned for that as much or as easily isn't an improvement

Your feed is full of that because you're a
ed r-slur. It's just the algorithm doing its job. The vast vast majority of actively tweeting Twitter
users are Facebook tier (but younger) normies.
The incredibly loud, incredibly small
minority you're bitching about only exists because it isn't a zucc style jannie
hellscape of Facebook and Instagram.

I'm so happy in the CongoChudsMacKenzie 8mo ago #5456200 spent 0 currency on pingsTwitter was unprofitable before, and there's no reason to believe that has changed since Musk bought it

Musk has already said he doesn't care if it turns a profit. It's effectively his philanthropic venture. Wouldn't be surprised if he creates a foundation to support it like the Dale Carnegie Foundation or the Ford Foundation - both founded to continue their namesake's interest in education and the arts, but long since hijacked by gays and communists.

The only reason I don't want them to fall for it is because reddit employees being denied a payday is funnier than bankers losing money.

Elon bought Twitter for influence, the profit is just a bonus.
Also Reddit is awful for specific posters compared to twitter, unless you're narcissistic enough to make a personal subreddit or something.

Not for $45 billion. Dude is not a Machiavellian schemer, he's like every one of your bros who started taking drugs and making bad decisions.

I assume his drugs of choice were /pol/, Moldbug, LessWrong/et al. and Twitter itself. That, and Adderall.
Seriously, though, owning a major social media site enables promotion and suppression of certain views that make it worth enough as a running asset in the long run. There's a reason people are so concerned about him owning it.
