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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

I propose a law that says any rep introducing or supporting performative, moronic legislation that wastes my tax dollars gets to have their balls kicked off. Who’s with me?
Now hold on just a minute there. They can have their balls or ovaries kicked off. Inclusivity, y'know.
For sure but in this instance the assholes in question are male. In the name of inclusivity, I'm happy to discuss alternatives for women as I'm not sure ovaries can be kicked off.
Just wait til MTG and BoBo get to the party.
Anything's possible, with enough enthusiasm!
I have a compromise- male, female or nonbinary, we just bash them in the kneecaps with a tire iron.
Hmmm I like the idea, but we want to stop them from breeding.
Uranium underpants could do wonders there
Guillotine too.
All of them are old. It's too late for that.
Unfortunately not for the ones still able to make swimmers.
I propose we kick off clits n dicks instead.
If this passes, you do have to have your balls kicked off, though
I disagree. In the long term, IchNichtenLichten's proposal would save so much time and money - through the mere threat of a ball kicking - that it would fail to meet its own second criteria.
