Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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.


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.

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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

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.

Didn’t they always? “Asshole”, “dirtbag”, “perp”, “fucker” are all gender neutral…

Racial slurs are gender neutral.

Wow so glad the SS will gender me correctly while they throw me in a camp

Hi we know u haven't eaten in 4 days and you've been raped 5 times by us, but could u fill out this short survey about if we gendered u correctly, so we can learn how to better serve you.

Ha ha ha ha I was so confused by that notice. I was like "who the fuck I'm I reporting now." Ah context it helps

This type of policy should be approached carefully so that the sensitive BP men don't start crying.

Border Patrol agents are notoriously conservative. It is a certainty they will ignore this order at every opportunity.

Thats what happen when these lawless thugs face zero consequences after decades of shitting on the Constitution and people's rights.

Incoming right wing echo chamber shitfit...

How is the left any better in this case? Real people and real suffering and they are like "we should think about pronouns"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You know we can handle more than 1 thing at once, right?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

But are we doing it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, the left has been better. The left didn't practice family separation like Trump did.

Luckily, I've never had trouble at the northern border. Actually, sometimes they want to have smalltalk about our queer relationship (we live in different countries) or what a furry is, and I'm sweating as an impatient line is forming behind me, lol. Generally, they've either been sweet or indifferent.

If I wasn't sure what gender it was, I called it an "it".
