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.

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.

I can't speak for the other commenter, but I'm not naive enough to think conflict just appeared out of nowhere. It's come from beefs between historic tribes and stretches back to before people wrote things down.

It's more like "those cops were just regular people whose families were beating other people up, then someone with a lot more Big Sticks came over and told them they're now part of a special group who are the only ones allowed to beat people up and gave them a shiny gold ~~star~~ plaque? to prove it"

Only instead of a gold star, it was drawing lines on a map and saying "this is yours, have fun", and pretending to not see anything negative they do after that.

Exactly. Can't we all just get along... and blame the British?

Personally, I blame Ichthyostega.

All they had to do was just keep swimming. But no, they got a stick up their ass that told them "hey Bro, go on land Bro, surely you will not regret walking on land" and now my ass has to go to work on Monday.

😬 I didn't even notice, and I'm not sure how nobody else pointed it out yet...

I was thinking "deputy star" not "star of David"

It's ok, I figured that's what you meant but there's better ways to phrase that lol
