Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

What the fuck else have I missed today?

Something about hyperlinking a link twice seems to have messed with it, at least on my end. I'd suggest just posting the link as is without the formatting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fixed it, and it hyperlinks on its own. Why have a link icon in the editor when it's not necessary? I tried to figure out the fediverse shortcut for links (since it's a post in lemmy.world but I see it through fedia.io making a mess of the url), but it doesn't seem to be universal yet either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Afaik, there's currently no instance-neutral way to link to a post unfortunately. As for the link icon, that's used to turn part of a comment into a link without posting the whole url for space and/or aesthetic reasons. Like this.

Also, it looks like there's still an issue on the Lemmy-UI with that url. I wonder what's up with that.

I think that was a typo for leaks (Autoincorrect,) but, uhm, here's the times article that came out
