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.

I mean this is just very obviously a waste of time. I honestly hopes this shit draws his focus for the next 4 years because tilting at this windmill will give him less time to do actually dangerous shit.

Can't someone at this point charge him with Barratry -- abuse of the legal system? Bar his fat arse from filing any more suits for at least his term of office this time around.

Ah, who am I kidding, the US legal system has no teeth (for some), it's all reliant on 'customs' and 'norms' at its base, as we have seen recently.

Didn't ABC just pay? It looks like this tactic is working.

Totally and it is working. But this makes sense when one of our two parties is drowning in propaganda. Why would the conservative leadership and elites have any interest in an independent news media?

What is so interesting to me is how quickly they shifted any discussion of free speech to be about what you can post on twitter, and not about the gov't restricting speech. It was truly amazing how quickly it worked as the conservative supporters just ate it up.
