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.

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.

I don't think this is real. This is like the propaganda that liberals are killing babies. Like there may be a small bit of truth but this is blown out of proportion
Searching online only yields more results for the accusation of right wing being upset.
The article literally gives examples of the big conservative social media accounts making a fuss about the book list, including LibsOfTikTok which has millions of followers and frequently incites harassment and bomb threats toward their targets
I highly doubt the person you're replying to read the article I posted, nor did they actually do any additional research, as claimed, before deciding that this was "*fAkE nEwS." Because you're right, the sources of the boycotts are clearly cited in the article.
I read it. It's just the source is non credible and the Twitter post it points to is so small that it's obviously a non issue. The Twitter post having 2.1k likes. That's not significant.
What are you basing that claim on? Because it's patently false. They're a highly credible source with a clean fact-check record.

So stop making things up. I actually know the sources I share on Lemmy are credible and will back it up every single time people try to start making up lies and shouting "fake news" because they don't like the headline of an article I've posted.
Show me a significant amount of Republicans boycotting froot loops besides the 2.1k likes on a Twitter post.
Look up LibsOfTikTok if you think this is not significant.
