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.

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.

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.

Ah, so a couple questions to see if you're just a fucking idiot that thinks idealism can be reality, or if you're even relevant to the conversation.

  1. Are you American or otherwise working in the United States currently?
  2. If so, how long would you be able to survive if you were to be fired or quit and not be able to work in your same industry? Meaning you would be starting off in an entry level role probably in unskilled labor, because most government workers aren't in charge, they're working desk jobs to make things function or doing some sort of inspection work, neither of which usually need college educations.
  3. If you're not American, your opinion on this honestly means very little here since you do not have experience with working in the US.

Most of that user's comments have been removed (with good reason), so I'm guessing they're just a troll (aka an idiot).

Former J1+H1 counterexample right here.

I shortened the last sentence. The 1st point literally covers that type of scenario.

But that's cool. Taking things out of context on purpose to manufacture a point is literally what the internet does best.
