Rules:

1. Be civil


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.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


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.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm just waiting for a Republican to come out and just say, "reading is for liberals." Because you know it's coming.

I would say it's one or two years away. Two more years and the first person in congress is called a removed for reading

I've heard of some instances removing slurs

I think your instance censored the word "fa**ot"

Nothing showing removed on mine

But what of you’re actually talking about a bundle of sticks…..?

Some instances remove profane words automatically from the posts, and it ends up getting propagated across the Lemmyverse.

They already are. What do you think their War On Education over the last 40 years is about. Dumb illiterate peasants believe whatever they're told.

Yup, looks like the long game is to keep them uneducated, pissed off and armed to the teeth.

They say it now just not publicly.

I strongly believe it.

Our customer service (CS) department has a HQ in a red state, they manage all the Customer Service nationwide. They report to my boss and have these "huddle" meetings where the CS managers (of which there are at least 30+ people) share ideas. Other department leads/managers can join. I used to sit in as a engineer manager, so I can under understand problems from customers. But now I sit in to eat popcorn.

The CS leads are definitely conservatives. And These huddles are full of really stupid takes.

One of the takes was where someone recommended training resources and another mockingly said, "Read a book? What do you think this is, a school?"

idiot corporate managers who insist on the word 'huddle' instead of 'meeting'. Ugh.

Kinda used to all the corpo lingo. I'm pretty sure I'm one of those bad business folks you take out in a cyberpunk game

Remember to stand still facing windows and walls, walk/stand under heavy but precariously-placed objects, things like that ^.^
