SoylentNews is people

from the your-voice dept.

Right, so we're pondering on adding new nexuses to the site for the next upgrade (planned for December but could end up being later depending on circumstances). Why bother adding new nexuses? Primarily so you can easily filter them out from your settings page. For example, say we had added a Games nexus. Not interested in gaming? Preferences->Homepage and put a dot in the far left (X) radio button next to Games and you will not see anything from the Games nexus on the main page. Mind you, we don't have nexus functionality built into the rss/atom feeds, yet, so they'll still show up there.

Keep in mind you can also browse nexuses independently, so you catch stories only from that nexus. Independent rss/atom feeds are coming sooner or later as well. Nexuses aren't entirely about what you don't want to see.

As of now we've got Games and Liberty on the table as new nexuses to go with Breaking News and Meta. Including more or less duplicating some Topics, what nexuses would you lot like to see go live? Last note here, any nexus we create will be fair game to sub stories in that category for. Don't suggest sports unless you want to give the green flag to subs on NASCAR.

    Not the source - I don't care about the source very much as long as it is credible. I live in France but I get my news from all around the world. But this was an old story. We in Europe have had better working conditions than, say, the US for many decades but I don't think that justifies a specific story about it - because it is old news. In many jobs, if we work longer than the accepted working day, we expect to be paid extra for it. If we work during our holidays, we expect to be paid for working.

    Meanwhile, the Volkswagen workers in Tennessee allowed themselves to be buffaloed by slimy politicians and Capitalists and voted against unionizing.

    ...and no one else submitted anything about South Carolina getting clobbered.

    USA's infrastructure hasn't made a quantum improvement since that storm either.

    Sounds like you should have submitted a story about the situation in the USA then...

    "Meanwhile" was a bit metaphorical on my part.
    Those events in Tennessee happened in February 2014.

    I thought I did have a story on that make it to the front page but, looking now, apparently not.

    I have commented on that multiple [soylentnews.org] times. [soylentnews.org]
    In the latter instance, an AC Soylentil who lives thereabouts picked up the ball and ran with it very effectively.

    Here in the middle of another Capitalist depression, I think that examples of workers pushing back against exploitation is worthy of a mention--no matter how many centuries^W days old it is.
    ...with French workers being particularly good at saying "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more".

    This gets us back to nexuses as A Good Thing(tm).

      If that's your priority, you're really on the wrong site. Try www.wsws.org instead. You could maybe also write about art for them - a lot of their material is very old.
