Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Almost everyone in this thread is talking about how this is a bad thing and why it happened.

Never let reality stop you from getting infuriated.

When I came to the thread I just spammed my point across all the top comments, which were all cheering it on.

So you're just seeing my comments, and maybe others who came in after and also read the article.

so you spammed the same shit to everyone with bad takes and you thought it was so important to post a standalone too? jesus dude, relax

there's only 26 comments (8 parents) a day later ffs, it's not like there was an outpouring of support the way your comment implies

Yes, I took approx. 2 minutes of my toilet time to call out the bad takes.

Do you want to help me manage my shits more effectively?

If I send you my pooping schedule, can you make sure to recommend the posts I should respond to?
