Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Everyone should be independent.
Voting for a party should be seen as a bad thing, due to history.
I would go a step farther and say remove the letter next to people's names all the way down to the local election. Want to vote? Well now you need to do enough research to figure out what the people believe in.
What a ridiculous nothing. Removing a piece of information doesn't make anyone more informed.

In the US, "independents" are a type of embarrassed Republicans.
If you just mean that electoralism is bad, start with that.
The tribalism is strong with you.
OK, before your makeup dries up, let's check on a poll on the topic of support for Ukraine in the US:
https://news.gallup.com/poll/469328/one-year-later-americans-stand-ukraine.aspx
It's sad if you think that proves your point.
hmm... there is very little statistical differentiation between "independent" and republican, in political science we call this "they are the same thing".
ever heard of "looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck"? tho not to lump ducks in with republicans.
You're a shining example of why reasoning with tribalists is a waste of time and effort.
Thank you for proving my points.
I think you miss the point with the problem of tribalism entirely, and are just repeating a buzzword you heard.
Technically, it is Tribalism is if you call out someone for being racist, is it bad to call out racist behavior? tho, it isn't tribalism to point out that two things are fundamentally the same thing, like how Megablocks is just off brand Lego
Okay. Grasp at whatever straws you need.
to quote, yourself
"thank you for proving my point"
I rest my case.
how exactly do you rest something that never existed in the first place?
It's really quite silly how you're wearing the clown makeup and acting like the anyone who points it out are the real clowns
Don't bother engaging with them. They aren't going to change their mind. That's the downside with Lemmy. There are so few users that these obstinate trolls don't get buried. Engaging with them just makes their bad takes and bad faith bs take up more space in a thread.
It's possible they are a real person who's been banned from most other platforms for spreading their bile and have settled here because the low engagement means their troll bait gets picked up, or they are a non US citizen trying to astroturf US political shit.
I would agree with the sentiment but there is value in counteracting the pile on effect of the trolls by adding additional voices of reason.
