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.

That's cool. A lot of people disagree with you, which is why it's so cheap to live outside of major cities.

High supply, low demand. I don't think Rural America needs to become like Urban America or even Suburban. But to deny that it isn't decrepit and desolate is just ignoring reality.

That's just your opinion. I love having my own house and land, with no dumbass people making noise and stench all around me. I would not trade it to live in any city in the world.

What your perspective calls "decrepit and desolate" can also be seen as open and natural. Freedom in its purest sense.

No, it's not "just my own opinion." I literally opened up with "a lot of people disagree with you, which is why it’s so cheap to live outside of major cities."

It's just your own opinion. Lol. Try not to project onto me.

These places can be open and natural while still being revitalized. That's just how much land there is.

Well all of your opinions are wrong then.

[–] chitak166 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, and so is everyone else who disagrees with yours.

[–] RaoulDook 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Now you're starting to get it. Everyone should learn from me and follow my example. Except don't move here and crowd my spot.

[–] chitak166 0 points 11 months ago

I've gotten it long ago, but props for standing up for what you believe in.

Perhaps we're on the same wavelength.
