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.

Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police.

This is murder.

I’m a firm believer of “if you see someone stealing food, no you didn’t”

Also depends who they're stealing from though. Massive corporation.. I didn't see shit. A small family run restaurant struggling to get by then I saw it with both eyes.

ASTERISK, what you said. And a farmers market vendor.

What does 'get by' mean to you?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Make enough to not get evicted after expenses.

That's fair.

Would it be okay to steal from a family-run restaurant if the family lives in a $300k house and has no real financial troubles beyond keeping up with the Jones'?
