I get it, people are upset, but here’s the thing… We still have standards here.
Please review the sidebar.
- No self posts.
- No meme/image/shitposting.
- No video links.
- 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.
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.
I’m fine with this, but maybe a weekly mega thread to blow off steam in would be healthy?
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.
There are already communities for discussion and also meme/images.
