Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


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.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

From the dude who endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016. What happened Joe? You went through the batshit crazy alt-right pipeline during COVID didn’t you…

That’s probably a good explanation. Pretty much everyone of these podcasting guru type people start of centrist or leftcenter then once they start to mix with the big leagues and make lots of money, all of the sudden they become right wing figures.

Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman, Andrew Huberman, Bret Weinstein

Man, I miss the r/decodingthegurus reddit sub where we could make fun of and expose these dipshits.

What's stopping you from creating a community like that here?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I’ve already created around 6 communities and mod an extra two across this account and my alts so I kind of have my hands full here

Also if I had the energy to make and run a community I think one I’d love on lemmy is probably c/fivethirtyeight or c/guerrillagardening so I’d probably prioritise one of those.

And there's a risk of a community like that blowing up overnight when you've already got a bunch of mod duties and you're the only mod in the new community.

As I have discovered.

Accepting applications, by the way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Congrats on that one.

Overnight success 😁

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

Thanks. Let's hope it doesn't keep me as busy as it has. The fact that I've had to add a 'no racism' rule already...

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

Hopefully you can find a couple people to fill in the mod team.

If my experience on lemmy is worth anything, pretty much any community where the majority of posts are in picture formats, and where the content is accessible/understable to most, usually grows pretty quick.

Sigh, Lex Friedman used to be an interesting listen for financial stuff, and now he's just another MAGA loser spouting bullshit economics

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It pisses me off that these people get some of the most interesting people on earth to join their podcast and then all turn out to be MAGA arseholes.

I have to wonder who pays them and how much.

Joe Rogan has made it very clear over the years that he believes whatever people he knows tell him without bothering to check for himself to see whether or not it's true.

So he may have actually had no idea what Bernie's platform was.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He used to be pretty progressive and had Bernie on his podcast. He used to be in favour or medicare for all, legalising weed, etc.

idk where he stands now though.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

I believe his general position is fuck you I've got mine

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Bernie was criticized a lot for going on the Joe Rogan experience.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I listened to the man until around 2018, by then it was starting to get clear he was becoming increasingly “macho” and elitist so I stopped.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Same. Even saw him and Tony Hinchcliff live in Detroit at one point. Seems like he went hard right after moving to Texas.
