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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


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.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


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.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


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.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

They lean pretty far right and are known to use emotional sensationalism in their articles. I'd much rather get my news from AP.

I would too, they are not my first pick, but saying a source isn’t credible is a big accusation. Idk I’m probably overthinking it. When I think of not credible I think of Tucker Carlson, Fox News, Breitbart. Truly lying sources.

right wing spun but credible and mostly factual.

You're cool to state your concerns.
The fact that you weren't dogpiled caught my eye.

Just sayin'

Appreciate it. Unfortunately I know myself and sometimes I come off incredibly strong/hostile or I am too charitable with not a whole lot of in between. But I am really, really trying hard to take a step back these days and assess things with a little cooler head.

Lemmy dogpiles by default. Far, far worse than reddit ever did. And I've proven it (to myself!).

So, I try to call it out when I see it (always), but I also notice when it doesn't happen, such as now.

I’m not sure it’s worse than Reddit lol but I feel you. Appreciate the kind words

Must be v careful to avoid dogpiling. When legit trynna make a nuanced point, gotta be obvious about your actual view before getting into the nuance.
