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 isn't chump and his taintsuckers you gotta worry about.
It's the army of Federalist Society lawyers and policy experts around him. They've spent decades figuring out the removed in the armor of our governmental system. Figuring out how to dismantle it piece by piece.
Edit - wtf is that removed about? Wait....oh. bot thinks I did a racism.
Are you saying your comment was edited?
Fucken hell, that's the correct fucking way to define a gap in armor. Bullshit. I really want to try a bunch of slurs out and see what sets it off.
Wait until you try the in-game chat in Rocket League. You can't even type "Discord". It's a banned word. 🤡
This is surely the most rational reaction to being slightly inconvenienced by a word filter.
Go removed ahead you removed.
Not much since you're on .world. .ml is much more strict.
Jebus. I still haven't figured out if .ml is government funded or true believers. Very strange to me.
It's the home instance of the founders of Lemmy, who are communists. I don't know their views on authoritarian communism like Stalin or Mao, but people who thought these were good leaders are the "tankies" you may have heard of. There are a lot of them on .ml.
There are better Lemmy hosts out there, just waiting for you to join.
Gimme a list.
There was as guy running around with a list of smaller, worthwhile instances.
I ended up on lemmy.zip more recently after starting on kbin, then moving to .world.
lemm.ee seems to be gaining popularity.
sh.itjust.works is also pretty well represented, its users seem normal enough afaik.
lemmy.dbzer0 is an anarchist instance, their admin is super knowledgeable and seems like a cool guy.
lemmy.blåhaj.zone is a radically inclusive, safe instance. They're virulently anti-bigotry and anything perceived as "anti-marginalized" groups will likely be removed/banned.
There are hundreds of instances, 569 as of writing this. Some are niche and focused on specific hobbies or uses and a bunch of others are general purpose. It's worth clicking around and sorting a few different ways to find a server you like. Remember you can export your settings and import them into an account on another instances so moving is relatively painless.
Bookmarked. Thank you for this insight.
Thank you very much.
I just signed up with the first one that worked, and it still took a while to actually get it created.
