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.

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.

Pick your poison.
Liberal states like California, with hella regulations, taxes, etc. More expensive.
Conservative states like Mississippi, with none of the above. Cheap cost of living.
I'm starting to think America is just too big to play together nicely. And the way our politics are playing out, a sane middle ground seems unlikely.
Maybe we'll smear ourselves all over the land, which would force some common ground, more homogenous, dunno. I hope to have 30 more years on this planet, probably less. You kids, and mine, are straight fucked.
Do your best. I'm trying too, and I'm rooting for you.
“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - "God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
that's some enlightened centrist nonsense if you think California needs a middle ground with Florida
Cost of living is the subject here. Think California is a paradise? Never been there, but it sounds damned fine. But don't come back bitching about the cost of living.
But also things like no women's body right, no lgbtq rights, rampant religion shoved down your throat, rampant bigotry, the war on trans leaning kids, etc...
What a wonderfully disingenuous post, thank you.
