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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

I know what I want to say would get me permabanned on Reddit. How does that work here, I wonder?
These profligates need to be lashed to crosses and feasted on by ravens, burn their houses to the ground and salt the earth. Let their names be shouted to the sky so that all know what damned well happened, removing their name implies shame for one action and there is no shame in killing fascistic dogs.
No. The point of that is to erase everything about them, I want it remembered so that those similar to them might having a second thought onto their next action.
In the video she said the other child stole from hers so she called him the n word because "he acts like one". They want everyone to be able to "call a spade a spade" so let's apply that to them too. This bitch and everyone who's donated money to her are fascist scum and deserve to be treated accordingly.
Depends on your admin. And the admin/mod of the community you're posting on.
If the admin of the instance hosting the community you're posting to (or a mod of said community) removes your comment, it would prevent anyone seeing your comment anywhere.
If another admin removed your comment, it would do nothing for anyone except the users of that admin's instance.
Bans are similar. YOUR admin can ban you which would stop you being able to post anywhere. Other admins can ban you too, but it would only stop your comments/posts appearing to their users, and keep any comments/posts of yours on their communities from being seen by anyone outside your instance.
If for example lemmy.world banned me, a thelemmy.club user, lemmy.world users would not see any future comments from me. If I then commented on a post on !memes@lemmy.world the lemmy.world server would reject my comment and not tell any other instance of it. Users of thelemmy.club would see my comment, but nobody else. My comments/posts on non .world communities would be seen as normal by everyone but .world users.

Leftists that support rehabilitative justice, oppose the police and prisons, turn into Hitler when someone commits a minor offence against a group they favour. How does that work?
You're a professional victim.
This doesn't make any sense. My person has nothing to do with this.
Fuck off, Nazi
Works just fine. Just about everyone agreed on what to do with Nazis 80 years ago. Get off your cross.
80 years ago, most people in your country did not have a much more favourable view of black people.
The word "fascist" does not mean "person I do not like".
You really are just blindly swinging and missing, aren’t you
Well, I sincerely doubt people in any western country were particularly fond of black people at the time. However, the country you are from is hardly important.
The point is, that the views that prompt you to call these people nazis were also held by people that dealt with the nazis.
