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.

True. Their policies are so bad they have to disavow them…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Except to the right audience they are extremely proud of them. Yes overall their policies are unpopular but they aren't without support

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sure - but they don’t need to win those folks votes

What's the point here? I'm trying to point out the very real danger they represent. Are you really going to downplay that danger? This is how we lost roe v wade

Whoa…I agree with you. And I’m not sure why what I said upset you. I am just speaking in the context of the discussion of the post which is campaign strategy.

We need to shout about Project 2025 from the rooftops because it’s so toxic the Trump campaign wants it to stay hidden.

I find it counterproductive to say Republicans have no policy because they do, and it's ugly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought that was an excellent point and was glad you pointed it out

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Alright good. And it's good to see a misunderstanding not go ugly online, as it too often does.

I’ve seen and had way more go this way on Lemmy than on Reddit.

Just a better culture around here.

Well thank you for holding up your end. I admittedly lose my cool with people sometimes. It's hard to read tone, but I will say that you did a good job of avoiding condescension, which is probably the biggest problem in online discourse that I see.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To be honest I had to edit the tone of my comment a couple times before submitting it 😉

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

That's ok -- at least you did it. I need to do more of that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It's that they don't need to be won over. They are going to vote for Trump regardless.
