I get it, people are upset, but here’s the thing… We still have standards here.

Please review the sidebar.

  1. No self posts.
  2. No meme/image/shitposting.
  3. No video links.
  4. No social media.

Those posts are better directed to Political Discussion or Political Memes.

Articles from trusted sources are absolutely welcome.

Items 1-4 can be used in comments, they just can’t be submitted as posts.

The usual lemmy.world rules apply too:

No calls for violence. Full stop.

We’re seeing an uptick in trolling already, trolls will be banhammered without warning.

    1. No self posts.

    I strongly think this rule should change, it is important we are able to humanize each other, make our own arguments. Self posts are important way to do that. I think some guidelines to keep it constructive and high effort is warranted but an outright ban I’m against.

    1. No meme/image/shitposting.

    I’m fine with this, but maybe a weekly mega thread to blow off steam in would be healthy?

    No calls for violence. Full stop.

    I understand the legal obligations here. I’ll also point out the president elect is openly calling for widespread violence. If some can say “cops should shoot/arrest/deport <xyz>” that is a call for violence.

    Mods, You have a hard, thankless job, so thank you.
