Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
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.
That's all the rules!

It takes a desire to start away from Reddit - it's very easy to sign up again under another name. If you have Gmail (yes, I know - privacy - but it's fine for throwaway crap), all you have to do is add a plus sign & any gibberish you want to your email address.
username@gmail.com ...becomes... username+redditaccount0001@gmail.com
The stuff from the plus sign to the @ gets ignored by Gmail servers so it all gets sent to the first address still. Handy feature for a few oddball purposes since you can filter based upon it, although it's hit or miss whether any given site will accept such an address with a plus sign - last I knew, Reddit still did.
No, they are able to track you across multiple devices and locations now. I get instaban the moment I sign up anymore. I gave up. Joined shortly after digg migration my accounts gone
the ban is for the best though, the entire site is full of bots talking to bots. i'd rather poke around here where real humans are
Speak for yourself meat-sack

lmao look at this fucking clanker
I'm not sure what they're doing but I tried to evade a ban by using a 10-minute email address and signing up through multiple VPNS. It still banned me each time so I'm guessing they must be harvesting MAC addresses
