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. 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.

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.

We tend to believe what we want to without looking into it.
That sounds legit.
... wait. So that means that what you said must not be true!!
Tap for spoiler
/sThanks for adding the sarcasm mark behind the spoiler tag, I would have been really angry if that wasn't there.
Wait, are you being sarcastic right now?
I don't see a spoiler tag, do you?
Some Lemmy applications don't display it well (like Boost).
It works fine through a browser or Voyager.
Edit:typo
I was being sarcastic, Mr Surfer. I wrestled with whether I should include the "/s" tag since I was making a joke about the spoiler tag being the indication of sarcasm. I chose neither and here we are. Hi! ;)
Hi! Yeah, probably a timing thing. I used a spoiler tag yesterday and a user mentioned that it didn't work for them. Turns out it's a known issue for Boost users, so that was fresh on my mind.
I'm on boost so perhaps im not seeing something, but what does "/s" to do with a spoiler tag? Aren't they two completely different things? If you're being sarcastic, you just put /s, right? That's what I've always done...
Hiding "/s" in a spoiler tag is a bit more satire friendly.
In some cases seeing it upfront gives away the fact that you're not serious a little too quickly and doesn't have the same "got ya" effect that some people want.
It's not necessary by any means, but it can be fun to add that extra layer sometimes.
As far as what happens specifically on Lemmy, it looks something like this:
Spoiler hidden:
Spoiler shown:
you make a fair point.

/s ha actually no.Everything written on the internet is meant to be taken at face value.
It'd've'bin funnier if you said: everything written on the internet is meant to be taken sarcastically cuz that'd include your own comment then
Can confirm that SatansMaggotyCumFart has never led me astray.
When the article was posted in news, I cross-referenced it, and every source came back with mixed or low credibility in factual reporting. The post was taken down shortly after. I’m guessing it’s still all over Facebook though.
