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.

Sure. The swarm of terrorist sympathizers is well known on these pages. Which is fine, but you can't respond to them without a mod making up an excuse to ban you from a community. You either conform to their thinking or get the hook. They are a powerful lobby. Not the same in other chat boards. Does money change hands? Don't know, but it's as if it does. If you haven't taken money, perhaps some is owed to you.
From the modlog, it shows that you recently posted comments containing ethnic slurs and were just being completely uncivil in the other (the original comments are all visible in the modlog). Further back, several comments were removed for being hostile. It was only after all that you got a 3 day ban which is basically a slap on the wrist.
That's hardly "conform or get the hook".
ooof.
I'll gladly compare past writings and discuss them. But, understand that a mod has to say something to justify their position and they won't move off that no matter how ridicules it seems. In this case I referred to Jihad Janes. There is nothing ethnic about that and it's certainly not a slur. Jihad is a spiritual struggle. Anyway, it was enough for the mod.
That's factually not true. A mod can ban you because they don't like creeks (as in your name) and it would be perfectly valid. Not saying i agree with it, just that they can without having to justify themselves.
This is true, I was banned from the shithole /politics for my username.
I appealed and got silenced.
Yeah whatever. Keep blowing smoke up my skirt, All Great and Powerful Oz
Make your own community, with blackjack and hookers if you want? If the instance doesn't let you, make it somewhere else or make your own instance. That's the beauty of the fediverse.
Generally, you need to be really bad to get de-federated from most instances.
I'll keep that kind advice in mind
Who exactly is "They?"
Can you link some of these terrorist sympathizers?
And if you link me people supporting Palestinian refugees I am going to block you so hard I'll need to replace my mouse.
Again.
>The swarm of terrorist sympathizers is well known on these pages.
you're making this up.
