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.

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.

It's a district called Barbers Hill, what did you expect? /S

In all seriousness though, can we have a Sikh organization sue the bejeezus out of them, as long hair is an article of their faith, and the US Constitution has a thing or two to say about freedom of religion.

Sikhs aren't Christians so they don't get the same rights as Christians do according to the Supreme Court.

I've never seen an image of Jesus -both the white and middle eastern versions- with short hair. He also had a thing or two to say about hypocrites...

Lol. Says a lot about those pseudo-conservatives.

Most Christians don't give a damn about Christian rules.

A federal judge ALREADY ruled on this. It's illegal, period.

If all else fails, they'll claim it's... unconstitutional? (Without ever reading the constitution, of course. Much like their bible.) All laws that upset their feelings, or aren't a clear win for their team, just need to be "reinterpreted" until they feel better, or their team wins.
