Politics
<p>Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it’ll be 99% US stuff, but that’s not a rule. </p>
<p>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: </p>
<ul>
<li>If you claim someone said something they didn’t say, that’s a temp ban. </li>
<li>If you make a factual claim but then aren’t interested in backing it up, that’s a temp ban. </li>
<li>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. </li>
</ul>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Other misc rules: </p>
<ul>
<li>No <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources" rel="nofollow ugc" target="">unreliable sources</a>. </li>
<li>Keep it productive please. </li>
<li>Self posts for discussion are fine. This includes videos or photos. No meme posts or screenshots please. </li>
<li>No personal insults. </li>
<li>No racism / transphobia / related bigotry.</li>
</ul>
