Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Yeah. Where I come from he have a word for people like him. It starts with an “I” and ends with a “diot.”
They’re a mod, so that should highlight their desire for obedience above everything.
Stop lying about me.
(Anyway, I thought you people decided I was a cop.)
You are a mod. That’s no lie. And look at your own comments…. You fight for doing nothing, and relying on other people to fight for you. Hate to tell ya bro, it ain’t working out.
(And if you are a cop, you’re a bad one)
The lie is the claim that I "desire obedience above everything."
I do not. Disobey me all you want. Just don't violate the rules I have been told to enforce. I didn't even make up the rules. In fact, I didn't even ask to be a moderator. I was just made one. On top of that, I'm not a moderator in this community in the first place.
So yes, you lied.
“Just don’t violate the rules I have been told to enforce”
In other words, “I was just doing my job.”
This is exactly my point. “Whatever rules, regardless of their worth or how fair they are, should be enforced to the fullest.”
I’m sure this extends to government rules as well. Will you say this about all the crazy laws we can assume the right-wing will pass over the next few years?
This is where you and I will never agree.
Are you calling me a Nazi? Really?
Lemmy.world isn't a government. It's a 100% free website that you are under no requirement to use.
Stop being so entitled.
No. That would be stupid. You would leave the country before you had to do that. I don’t think you’re a monster. But if you couldn’t leave the country… I don’t have much faith that you would do anything about it, based on every single thing you have said.
Oh wait, you're the weird guy who is convinced I'm a cop, aren't you?
I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. You have a comment history.
Sure, dude. You already showed me all your other sockpuppet accounts.
Don't worry, I haven't set my officers on you. Yet.
Ironically, I’m a fan of socks. I have fun socks, serious socks, sporty socks, Christmas socks, Halloween socks, Harry Potter socks for some reason. Just… lots of socks. Tell someone you like socks once, and that’s all they give you.
I will never ever go barefoot. You can take a pair or take twenty pairs. My drawer overflows, and will never be empty.
