Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

Lemme know how cumbaya sounds in El Salvador. Or Libya. Or wherever the fuck you end up.
Talk talk talk. Go start a gang then. Make the next Black Panthers. You won't celebrate little wins for potential allies because your wrath pushes you to demand more. That's the same productivity squeezing mentality of a Walmart middle manager.
That is, assuming you aren't a plant trawling around for dissidents to investigate.
Wow, with this level of hate I’ll just sit back and watch them come for you. Fuck everyone who is just sitting here watching things happen - I HOPE you find out how pointless what you’re doing is!
With all due respect (none), you're literally worse than useless. Maybe you can collect a check from the CIA, since you're doing what they normally do (actively harming discourse in politically left leaning spaces) for free.
Additionally, if that is what you classify as hate, then maybe your skin isn't thick enough to actually do the hard work of fixing shit, of taking the power back. You're probably better suited to activities that are far more subservient, things like boot taste testing, or nazi apologia.
Your reactionary bullshit isn't helping anyone.
Nah. Guy moderates three places here (at least on that account). At least posting and commenting on Lemmy can make him part of useage statistics. I'll take the growth and laugh at the absurdidty.
And your “do nothing” attitude is also of no help. So sounds like you and I are the same.
What "do nothing" attitude? That's your attitude, not his. Stop projecting and do something useful for once in your life.
Actually, I'm glad they responded. I'm getting a huge kick out of the poorly done trolling attempt.
I mean, I had no faith to begin with that you would do anything but sit back. That's why my advice was to get active instead of talk.
I'm used to reading, "go f*** yourself." but this may be the first time I have read "go f*** myself." Grabbed this for you to help you watch 🪞 (* >ω<)
I hope you eventually find joy by not obsessing over other people. Lead, don't dictate. (-ε- )
I ain't scared, but it looks like you are.
That's what they want, so that you will not even try.
