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.

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.

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.

I think she is a legend for what she did and I think USPS was absolutely right to fire her for it.

I hope the mail goes back to being apolitical and that she experiences a soft landing and strong launch career-wise

Then he's extra right that the USPS did nothing wrong here.

Well, then I hope she becomes Duchess of Canada. (I don't know how things work up there)

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well, maybe I'd know that if I'd read the article. Did you ever consider that I was being lazy and vocal while uninformed?!

I don't know why I'm making it seem like this is your fault, but I hope you've learned your lesson

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

Ha, let that be a lesson to them! They won't soon again make the mistake of, uh, letting you be ill-informed? Hmm...

... She wasn't fired lmao. People don't read.

She was given a 5 day suspension.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Don't read? More like can't read!

I dunno, I decided to react to something while only informed by other uninformed comments. It was a poor choice.
