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.

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.

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.

That $50,000 bounty is likely a bigger payout than two years of wages as a burger flipper...

And this is how the elite force us “lowers” to fight against each other instead of fighting them.

Sure, but there's a reason that scabs used to be beaten and shunned. Solidarity means everyone, and the consequences for breaking it need to be high or it's too easy for the bosses to pick people off one by one by offering them bonuses for ratfucking their peers.

It's always been that way and will always be that way. The point isn't to stop the infighting entirely, it's to work in such ways as to reduce the impact it has on the goals we should be striving to achieve. Namely a better world for everyone.

[–] EleventhHour 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It doesn’t have to always be this way

[–] Xanis 8 points 2 days ago

It will always be this way because people have opinions and perspectives. The two best ways to lessen infighting is by having a simple and common end goal. The second is a leader. Find both of these and I guarantee people will follow.

It would be a shame if the person who sold out were publicly identified. Hopefully that will never ever happen.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, in all honesty, hopefully that will never happen.
What, are you hoping for vigilante justice against a minimum wage worker?

[–] OrganicMustard 29 points 2 days ago

That person should be publicly shamed for the class traitor they are

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Did you forget that shame exists? Not all, hell not even most calls to name an offender are a call for violence, the vast majority are calls for accountability and potentially shame.

I'm no expert, but wouldn't the snitch have to pay taxes on the reward they receive? So they have earned the ire of a nation for a small stack of cash that they'll likely blow within a year. Smort.
