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.


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

I live in Virginia. Our shithead governor is one to watch out for. He’s absolutely trying to set himself up for a presidential run. He’s smart, he’s avoided the spotlight and hasn’t really tried all the stupid shit like desantis. He’s going to get revealed eventually as a front runner, if not this election than the next. He’s calm, coherent, and will appeal to independent voters that want ‘a normal republican president’. But make no mistake, he’s trying to do all the same bullshit here. He shutdown our path to recreational marijuana, he wants to pass a ban on abortions, he got himself elected by promising to go after all the school teachers teaching critical race theory (he even setup a tip line for people to report all these crt teachers, hasnt even been one instance, it was all bullshit).

Yogurt mcsweater vest is the kind of guy we need to be worried about. He’s just as much of a racist piece of shit as trump and co but he’s smart. It will take a strong democratic candidate to go up against a guy like that.
