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

MODERATORS
Anyone still trying to claim "both sides" at this point are just willfully ignorant.
Or being actively dishonest with an agenda.
Anybody who thinks "both sides" aren't responsible for horrific shit are just as primally tribal as conservatives. Try thinking for yourself sometime.
One side is literally trying to erase the rights of people like me and my friends, while the other isn't. So what I think is that you should shut the fuck up.
Okay so it's 100% about you then? That explains a lot.
Want to know the difference between people who vote Democrat and people who vote Republican? Most people either vote for Republicans or against them. There isn't a "both sides" it's "these people scare me because they stand for violence, hate speech, less rights for anyone who isn't a wealthy white male, and they attempted a literal insurrection when their guy lost an election"
If they don't understand American politics they shouldn't be lecturing Americans about it. I don't go around telling people in other countries what their political parties stand for.
Is there a point to removing the default upvote your own comment?
Not all instances have a default upvote. I'm on kbin.social and it doesn't.
Thanks for the information!
