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.

MODERATORS
Everyone's complaining that this doesn't do anything and is counter productive, but you know what this looks like to me?
Propaganda of the deed. Someone will look at this and think "I know better things to spray her superyacht with than paint..."
Make sure it's something that will take her servants an extra hard time to clean
The bottom of the ocean would be pretty hard to clean.
They should put the billionaire on the bottom of the ocean, not the boat. The boat might be useful for something.
Billionaire's yacht? Hardly. But it may be scrapped. Expensive furniture and tech sold, high quality engine and parts repurposed.
Yeah, then her servants would have to start filing paperwork and have another yacht pulled out of storage while they design the new one.
Not if the bottom-of-the-ocean thing happens when the oligarch in question is on board.
ADMIRALTY ORDERS
To Cpt. S. Technique
'Intercept Walmart billionaire's megayacht KAOS en route to extinction, INTENT ON CARRYING US ALL TO THOSE WATERS...Sink, Burn, or take her a Prize'
As an added bonus lots of chemicals and crap will be put into the environment.
Yup this sounds productive to vandalize someone's boat.
Supposedly they used biodegradable paint. On that measure, you can't fault them.
Tell us you didn't read the article without saying that. Plus even if they had used normal paint, that's literally nothing compared to what this yacht does on a regular basis.
