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.

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.

I'm starting to agree with that other guy on that other thread. You're kinda being lame lately dude.

Did the new york post suddenly become a legitimate publication when I wasn't looking? Am I thinking of a different paper?

Because the new york post I'm aware of is such a steaming pile of shit that presenting it as actual information is tantamount to doing the work of a hostile foreign government.

I would be embarrassed I didn't spot that it was a link to them, but the formatting on this post/app/whatever makes it extremely hard to notice.

Anyway, nothing about the comment you replied to could possibly be considered lame, so I don't know what the hell angle you're trying to get at here.

I have never not been lame. If you ever had any respect for me, you shouldn't. There has never been any reason to like me and no one should because I don't deserve to be liked.

But that doesn't mean we should be giving page views to Rupert Murdoch "news" outlets.

You do deserve to be liked and respected

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 4 hours ago

Well I appreciate you thinking so, but it doesn't really matter much either way at this point.

"lately"

Dude makes great contributions - got no hate against him for that - but he's a bit too sure of himself sometimes.

He also always seems to have some beef with the OP for some reason or another. They're both like the only two names I easily recognize on Lemmy because of how active they are - ngl, I think that's actually kinda neat, how small these communities are or whatever.
