Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


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.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


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.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


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.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I can't wait for Democrats to accuse one of their own of being a Russian asset.

These are the poll options in Indiana. No write-ins. Write-ins have to fill out a form to declare it. There was no space to write in a candidate.

I would like to know who Rashida Tlaib thinks Hoosiers should vote for:

(I'm enjoying asking this of people who think it shouldn't be Harris and not getting an answer.)

OP will engage in a ten hour discussion in the bad comments replying within seconds every time and not do one multiple choice question

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if OP has blocked this user. A lot of people have or just avoid engaging this person. Unpleasant interactions with this user is a known thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're probably right that OP has blocked this person (every sane comment has downvotes except in this chain!), but "unpleasant interactions?" I'm having unpleasant interactions with OP right now (I have put it on hold until they solve the multiple choice question above, though) and that individual sure can't stop posting. Since I remain clearly unblocked, I have to conclude that OP blocked this person for some reason other than "unpleasant interactions." Anyway if OP is curious about stuff they can't see due to choosing to not see it, OP can log out of the account that's choosing to not see the stuff.

I'm being polite when I say unpleasant. Let's just say this user has a reputation, and not a good one. A lot of .world admins are very strict with personal attacks, even when its calling out a pattern so I'll just leave it at that.

OP either has squid blocked or is avoiding him. A quick glance at modlogs cleared up the why for me lol.

She flat out told people to vote straight ticket Democrat in this very speech.

This article is just an attempt at ratfucking because she didn't explicitly say she was specifically endorsing Harris.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I don't think not endorsing is the same as saying vote for someone else. I won't endorse McDonald's but if I'm starving with no other option I would have to eat it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

There certainly are plenty of people here on Lemmy saying not to vote for her.

And so far not telling me who I should have voted for given my options.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Absolutely! I don't think that is necessarily implied by not endorsing, that's all
