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.

Even threads here on Lemmy got locked.
If you're a moderator that locks threads: fuck you and stop abusing your power.
Is there really a "here on Lemmy" though? The main point of Lemmy is that it's decentralized, so if you don't like how a moderator on one server moderates, you can use a different one.
Unfortunately there's too many very large instances, which isn't ideal for a decentralized service since you end up with some of the downsides of a centralized one.
Well we also need some way to have the same community merged from many instances.
Right now there's like 20 news lemmys and its hard to start a new one that's not run by a clueless asshole
Did you just tell on yourself?
Isn't that a feature rather than a bug? Each one is on a different server with different admins and different moderation rules.
If you make it so only one can exist and they're all merged together, you're back to a centralized system, which is what Lemmy is aiming to avoid.
No, there's a hybrid where links get posted to one of them get mirrored to all the others, comments get merged, and mod actions only affect the users on their own instance
Then we get all the benefits of federation and very large userbase, but we dont have to worry when one mod abuses their power.
Relax different communities and servers want to have different styles of moderation. That is good.
