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
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
This is something you ask after attempting to prove your point a number of times, only to be met with resistance.
You haven't even tried once, and are already accusing them of being closed minded.
Now, back to the discussion at hand - you have been asked to prove your point. Instead of asking what type of proof they would accept, why not let me ask you... what type of proof are you willing to provide?
That's just an idiotic authoritarian response. I can ask for clarification at any time in a conversation. Who the fuck are you to say otherwise?
There's no need for such defensiveness. This is exactly the bullshit I'm talking about. It's useless.
Your claims of closed-mindedness are the most blatant example of projection I've ever seen. You are already convinced you're absolutely correct, and have to "teach" this to people, not that this is just your worldview that you're sharing with people.
Insults and derision are the appropriate response to the way you appointed yourself my dictator. I reserve reason for the reasonable. You're getting what you're giving.
This is just pseudo intellectual posturing. I never appointed myself your dictator, and saying so is patently absurd. You really need to think before you speak, because this is getting embarrassing.
