Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I like the idea of it. My only input on this would be:
If it's meant for discussions, maybe make it for self posts only? Or at least link to opinion pieces instead of just any articles? Otherwise, what's the difference this compared to the political news communities?
I guess my idea was a somewhat unregulated version of /politics , with far less "approved sources", and more discussion and non media news outlet narratives. Basically I liked what that former site's /r/politics community was before 2015 when people could post anything, editorize within reason. It could be a self post, a link, discussion, etc.
I don't really want to 'limit' what people submit, but that might change if people think it's not working out well.
I mean look at Lemmy circa June of last year. All of the people who fled 'that former site' to come here said this place felt like an old version of the internet, like 1990s forums/usenet. I was just going for that sort of community, and hopefully people willingly follow the rules.
I like the opinion piece idea though, I'll add that to the sidebar.
I'm not sure if this is allowed but I just wanted to put the updated address here: [email protected] . I changed the name from what it was originally as this seemed like a better description.
Thats like hexbear with extra steps.
So lw will immediately defederate?
sounds good
But seriously, there is no need for arbitrary post limitations. Lemmy users are perfectly able to up-vote and down-vote content. I say allow users to post Fox News.
