Rules:
1. Be civil
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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
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.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

I'm not angry, despite how desperately you want me to be, nothing in my responses even shows signs of anger.
And I dontbhage you, despite how much you want me to, I just pity you.
If you really have a family you are happy with, would you not rather spend your time with them? Making nice memories instead of trying to get a reaction out of strangers on the internet?
And I'm not going to block you just yet because I feel like there is a chance, however small, that I can actually get through to you, even if you want admit it to me directly, and make you realise that annoying strangers on the internet is not a productive use of your time and that you could be doing something better. Something that makes you and others actually happier and more content instead of just spreading mild annoyance eith your ""debates""
I post on an internet forum when I'm alone after work. Lots of people do that, except you're trying to paint it as a moral fault just because you don't like the topics I am discussing. Cut out the preachy "I'm just trying to make you a better person" bullshit that you're trying to use as justification for continuing to respond to me. You haven't made one salient point other than whining. And I had you on the mark about poor impulse control.
