Politics
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.

TBH, it kind of sucks being a mod. I don't have time to mod that often and I rely a lot on reports. I try to give the other mods the benefit of the doubt that they didn't have time to really check in most cases. There are definitely some exceptions to that though. I also have a lot of experience with trolls from the r/ place so it doesn't take much for me to see genuine comments most of the time. Of course, I'm still sometimes wrong and try to apologize if I can.
Cool, I know being a mod sucks, used to do it when I was younger. Just, have had my comments that corpos, having spent decades, and billions, destroying any civil means of change, will mean they will suffer violence for it, get me banned on an instance.
World is a weird place. An admin was shadow banning my comments which is why I'm here. They seemed to have stopped that though, so it might have been a rogue admin. I really like this instance and the admins are great.
Heh, It wasn't world, I bailed there when I saw they banned others for telling people to jury nullify luigi's case. It was on an account I mostly use for NSFW content, which was not the account I expected to get a ban for political speech.
