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.

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.

I mean. You can always do what the third world does and jump the hoops to live in a good country. Then you'll be able to have a safer, cleaner, healthier life where you can afford the basic necessities of life.

Hopefully people won't get mad and start passing lawes to harass the new people with the heavy american accent just trying to work, pay taxes and live a decent life.

Man, the irony is palpable.

The people who can barely afford housing can almost assuredly not afford moving to another country.

I'm not talking about fancy living in europe. I'm talking about moving to south america where each dollar you have is 5x more so you can have a fresh start feeling like someone who just got a beefy inheritance. If you work distance to earn a wage in dollars you are set for life.

Yes, and the people who CAN BARELY AFFORD HOUSING can not afford to move there. A large portion of American citizens have said that a 1000 dollar emergency would be devastating for them. These people would not even be able to save up to change their life like that even if they wanted to.
