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.

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.

FYI to anyone coming across this guy for the first time, I have him tagged as "Right-wing Nutjob/Religious Fruitcake"
For wonderful takes like:
And ofc the classic religious dogma "Blood family is evErYThINg":
Thanks!
I'm still naively optimistic somehow and think discussion is necessary.
As long as the other part isn't just a plain troll, I try to rip down illusional borders, because I think it's important to understand the "other side", because after all, we're still in this shithole together.
As said, this is a naive approach, which burns me up bit by bit, but I don't see any other solution.
Else we just gonna stay in our bubbles and then we wonder how so many people can be this idiotic.
As long as we don't understand the reasoning (if existing and not just some bullshit made up thing), we never gonna get back to consensus.
But maybe you're right in this case, and I just waste my time.
In this case, thanks for your input!
Thx! I was about to reply, I can now do something enjoyable instead.
Yeah I've had him tagged as anti-vax for quite some time.
how do you tag users? Lemmy seems to suck terribly even for moderators, let alone user notes for everyone else.
Why tag them when you can just block them?
...to warn others?
Tags can only be viewed by you. Other people cannot see how you tag people. You’re warning no one, only continuing to see shit while they go unblocked.
You write out the warnings.
I now have you tagged as "He Who Tags".
I don't think Jerboa can tag people... I feel like a T-shirt that's tagless yet still is somehow itchy. Phantom Tag maybe...
Shout out to my biggest fan!
