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.

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.

Stable genius: “Vladimir Putin is a great friend of mine. We’ve been dealing with each other for several years. All you have to do to get a favor from Putin is agree to do 10 favors for him then suck his dick. That’s how business is done is Moscow, and I’m a businessman. The best many say.”

Also, Putin has the pee tapes.

I'm sick and tired of people claiming that -- not because I don't think it's true, but because it gives Trump too much credit. Make no mistake: Trump is not an otherwise-good person being coerced to do Putin's bidding. Trump is willingly betraying America because he's a fucking fanboi of all the dictators and Putin in particular.

Right, like the pee tapes imply that he wouldn't sell his country out for $5 worth of hamburgers if he was feeling just a tiny bit peckish.
