politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It’s just as epic as when the poster showed a screenshot of a ban from a community I’ve never posted to and didn’t even know existed until I saw the screenshot. I wasn’t even notified of the ban.
In the screenshot I shared, there’s actual proof he posted there, unlike his screenshot of my info. Plus, some of his comments to me in this community have been removed for lack of civility today, as the screenshot shows.
Why do you keep claiming that you need to have posted on or have heard of a fediverse instance to be banned from it? Does it somehow "not count" if the person who was appalled by your posts saw them from another instance? Do you have other arbitrary criteria? It's a really weird defense.
You're either pretending not to understand that federation exists, or you truly somehow invested a thousand hours into a platform you're clueless about.

Looks like they saw a bunch of your posts, banned you from the instance for "toxicity" and that prevented anything new from you from federating to their instance. Not too difficult to fathom.
Now, how's about that check. Thank you!!!
I'm not banned from technology@Lemmy.world. I've never heard, nor have I ever posted to a place called dumvee. So I don't care that I'm banned from there. :)
None of that has nothing to do with this community or this article.
As I’ve mentioned several times, I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!
Are you having a stroke? I'm responding to your comments about how much this ban bothers you. Which is obviously and clearly quite a lot.
No one claimed you were banned from the tech community..... Then again no one asked you to post thousands of times against Democrats. Or did they?
LMAO, you think I care that you permabanned me from your own Lemmy instance? I’ve never even posted there and never would. You’ve done me a favor by banning me from your echo chamber. Thanks for that! :)
Oh, and guess what? I've just blocked you! You’ve had your chance to focus on the content of the articles, but instead, you resort to personal attacks, as shown by the comments removed from this community and your ban from World News.
I know you’ll use a different username to keep coming after me, but guess what? I don’t care. Byeeeee :)
It's quite obvious how bothered being banned from an instance is for him, because he keeps making up weird conspiracy theories about how it's secretly my instance and I banned him a month ago just to be able to come back and taunt him with it today.
As for getting banned by .ml tankies and my comments removed for exposing a fraud, these are a badge of honor.
Lol @ this weirdo.
