Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

@Ensign_[email protected] is gonna twist it around, call you a centrist, and cry about being bullied.

Now compare your fanfic to what actually happened.

I guess you're conveniently forgetting about yesterday where you made an absolute fool of yourself and got caught lying.

Btw I'm STILL waiting on that answer.

Just reviewed those threads. It's no where near as clear cut as you describe here. Your comment comes off pretty creepy, kinda stalkery

Dude followed me into c/tenforward tryin' to start shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah like, I'm not gonna say I agree with your stance on everything. But to follow people around is the lamest thing ever. Someone did that to me months ago and eventually got banned. Super creepy.

I'd say just block em. I think they won't see you either then?

Doesn't work that way on lemmy. Which I'm ok with.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Good to know. I'd be annoyed knowing there's a ghost following me shit talking

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It's most of the reason that my block list is so short and consists mainly of spammers who are probably not active anymore.

Or I suppose you could change the subject instead, yeah.
