Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You to me one half hour ago:
https://lemmy.world/comment/7788120
This is not the way to get me to do that.
do you need help finding the block button?
https://lemmy.world/u/[email protected]
it's in the upper right
Let me get this straight, you want me to ignore you, so you expect me to block you?
I think you're going to be very disappointed if that's what you expect.
If you want me to ignore you, I will only be forced to if you block me.
Of course, I sincerely doubt you'll block me because then you won't be able to do things like tell me how I support genocide.
But go for it: Prove me wrong.
>Let me get this straight, you want me to ignore you, so you expect me to block you?
oh, that would be lovely. i can't click the button for you though.
>If you want me to ignore you, I will only be forced to if you block me.
thats not how blocking works on lemmy
Prove it. Block me.
i don't need to prove to you how blocking works. you can try it yourself.
Oh well, guess I won't be ignoring you then.
Not my problem.
I can keep hoping
Another option would be to just never reply to me. In fact, that would be the easiest way for me to leave you alone since you claim you want me to leave you alone.
I bet you can't do it. Anyone else bet they can't do it?
that's not really an option: you inserted yourself into this conversation just to adhom me.
Guess that was just a lie.
blocking you wouldn't stop you from following me around and adhomming me: it would jsut stop me from seeing it and defending myself.
I bet you can't even stop yourself from responding to me in this thread again.
Prove me wrong.
poisoning the well is a form of ad hominem where you say (or imply) that someone's arguments are unsound because of something else they have said or done. it's prima facie ad hominem because you are attacking the person, not the argument.
