Since it's slightly less than easy to glean the rules from the sidebar, here's an itemized collection of rules. For example, the schadenfreude rule can be referred to as a)1.

a) Posts must be uplifting.

1. This excludes schadenfreude.^[1]

b) Posts must not overtly deal with toxic politics.^[1]

c) Links must not be low-effort.^[1]

1. Links must not go to a copy of a copy of a copy.
   (Try finding the original source instead! Links do not have to be textual, so there's no need to find a content farm to post a video.)
2. Posts must not be fake news.

If there's something you think that should be on here but isn't, feel free to say so!

Over the past week, I've seen a lot of discontent on this source, which gets a lot of deserved flak for seeming like a content farm that adds little to its original sources.

I discussed this with @sga013@lemmy.world, who pointed out that we do actually have a rule against such outlets instituted in the "no schadenfreude" post:

We are also banning low effort news or fake news. This could be news which is not adding anything new at all or is a copy of a copy of a copy (and bad one). Please try to fetch original sources. This is just to maintain a standard. This does not restrict you from posting a news which is targeted at a small group, or is published by a small group which may not be publishing a very fancy, furnished looking posts. Essentially - a no fluff rule.

This applies very much to www.utubepublisher.in . I've added a mention of the above rule to the sidebar, and please take care to not post articles like that of this outlet from now on. Instead, post the original source
