2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


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.

They're never going to listen. They genuinely don't think what they did was wrong and they don't see the nightmarish consequences of their actions, including the rise of Ron Desantis and the massive uptick of violent crime, provoking the right wing to take revenge by banning abortion and revealing the massive extent of regulatory capture they've engaged in for the past 50 years, and now we're on the brink of a civil war.

They're not listening because all they cared about was limiting their exposure to covid at any cost, even their own families, and they don't want to consider that what they did is wrong.

And they're not going to ever be convinced to listen or care because now it's a partisan issue.

I am just so, so deeply disappointed in humanity because of this fucking decade. 🤦🤦🤦
