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.
Would it be the wrong time to remind people that voting by mail may be available in their area?
For those that choose to vote early I will not judge them.
I’m voting on Election Day. Part because I don’t feel like voting early, part as a way to thumb my nose at those who would try to make me live in fear.
Vote early instead! It only helps other people who aren't aware. It would be real funny to see them try to intimidate people, but ultimately fail because there is barely any line at the polling place when they go.
I don't think the timing could ever be more right.
Early voting almost certainly is, by mail or in person. And it's unlikely that anyone is going to attack someone who is voting before election day.
Fucking knew this would happen. Right after Biden (not totally his fault) pull out of Afghanistan Oklahoma brought a lot of the people from that region here. I thought "bet some of these people will resent us." and also wonder if any of them would become terrorist over it. Fuck me if I wasn't right. Goddamm I need to see if we can vote now and by mail.
