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

Maybe a better title, “nobody perpetually on social media is ok right now”.
It's not just people on social media though. Everyone is having a hard time.
We work too long for meaningless jobs; we don't get time for hobbies, ourselves, or with our families; we can't afford housing or groceries; we're either stuck in traffic or on the way to being stuck in traffic; all our information is being sold to companies so that they can force more ads into our faces...
Life sucks right now for everyone because that's just how the people in charge want it to be for us.
Buy this car to drive to work; drive to work to pay for this car.
Vote for a government that will build a decent public transportation network, take the bus or tram to work, save money, read a book. Or lemmy.
Yeah, I for one am pretty ok. Family is good, work is okay, can't complain about much.
Which sounds weird to write. Maybe that's why nobody writes "I'm allright" and you just read about people complaining.
