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.

There has got to be a way to do this without hurting regular people.

Like I agree with the protestors 100%... but trapping people on a bridge? Blocking traffic? That's dangerous and irresponsible.

Direct action and disruption is necessary, but this is absolutely the wrong way to do it.

"Lol, sorry we couldn't get a firetruck to your burning apartment building, the road was blocked."

They actually have a specific procedure for getting emergency vehicles through. These guys aren't blocking firetrucks.

Nothing like exercising your right to protest by infringing on everyone else's right to travel freely.

Liberalism: Every protest is in history was righteous, except for the current one which affects me.

Leftism: The proletariat harming the proletariat is worse than ineffective, it is self-defeating.

Maybe as leftists, we should protest against the bourgeoisie instead of each other, but that might inconvenience some people.
