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.

Sure glad they tackled this "issue" instead of housing, jobs, pollution, infrastructure, trade, etc.

People always focus on governors but there's a lot of state legislatures that are just absolutely full of wing-nuts.

Yep. Wingnuts that run as democrats & magically jump to republicans just to fuck over their constituency.

The unfortunate thing in North Carolina is that the right wing only has the necessary votes because a democrat switched parties after being elected. So now republicans can do whatever they want.

Like New Hampshires. It's insanely large and filled with wack-jobs who want to secede from the union.

Like, wtf does the state have to offer as a country? Granite rocks that I seem to dig up every time I till my garden? That's what we will export?

Hey, you're forgetting your local town officials. You need that farm team of crazies to feed into the state body.

Republicans sure care a LOT about children's genitals... for some strange reason.
