For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

MODERATORS
 

The U.S. government has regularly dispatched hundreds of monitors to voting locations in blue, red and swing states, aiming to protect ballot access, discourage improper partisan influence and act as a moderating force on political campaigns.

Paywall. Idk how all these people believe we can afford all these subs when so many live at or near paycheck to paycheck.

I’m waiting for the day search engines and internet access to each page require subs, above and beyond the monthly connection bills.

A lot of us use uBlock Origin, so can easily bypass paywalls by disabling Javascript.

Lemmy is much more difficult to use on PC. I use an app on apple to just auto feed everything and then block the things I don’t want to see, like sports, hexbear, other languages, and porn. Lemmy is small enough that this strategy works.

But yea, ublock on PC.

I use uBlock on mobile. I also take the same strategy as you do. I generally browse all and new or hot and just block the communities / magazines that I'm not interested in seeing.

Honestly I would prefer micro transactions for high quality news. I might be alone, but I would prefer just to load up a few bucks and pay like a penny an article.

They should hire that guy who worked for EA and unity engine who suggested people pay for each bullet in video games. Then they can charge per search and eventually graduate to charging searches based on the complexity of the search. I shouldnt use lemmy when im drunk. Im giving corpos too many ideas.
