Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it’ll be 99% US stuff, but that’s not a rule.

This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can’t participate in bad faith:

• If you claim someone said something they didn’t say, that’s a temp ban.
• If you make a factual claim but then aren’t interested in backing it up, that’s a temp ban.
• If you’re asked one or two reasonable questions about what you said, and you’re still talking but you’re pretending the questions didn’t happen or rejecting the premise of answering them, that’s a temp ban.

The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let’s see how it works. Maybe this is a fool’s errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.

Other misc rules:

• No unreliable sources.
• Keep it productive please.
• Self posts for discussion are fine. This includes videos or photos. No meme posts or screenshots please.
• No personal insults.
• No racism / transphobia / related bigotry.
