Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Fettermam and Sinema didn't act like conservatives before being elected either.
I hope you are right about Platner, but until then, I'm skeptical of him.
You should be. Platner's not tested. He could be fantastic, or . . . not.
But as far as Fetterman and Sinema, what you said is true on the national stage, maybe. Fetterman was a mayor and a lieutenant governor before getting his Senate seat, and Sinema was in both her state House and Senate before going to DC, so they were both already very well versed in saying whatever they needed to say to get where they wanted to go. And Fetterman, especially, came to DC with a number of warnings behind him.
What has me hopeful (not certain, just hopeful) for Platner is that unlike those two, this is Platner's first foray into politics: he really is just an oyster farmer. That, and between Janet Mills and Susan Collins, Platner's opposition is SO horrendously bad as to be laughable. So even if Platner himself didn't have my full confidence, the others are making up for that in spades.
But don't get me wrong, unlike the trolls I'm not trying to change anyone's vote. I responded to that other guy because watching him gather up his skirts and squeal about a single, now-covered skull-and-bones tat while he ignores all the real Nazis made me laugh. If you're in Maine, vote your conscience, whatever it is. I wouldn't presume to change it. But for myself, if I were a Mainer, I'd much rather take a new, not-yet-corrupt candidate over any of the current offerings.
I don't want to dox myself but it's actually far, FAR worse in my state: if you knew the name of the corrupt motherfucker who is my senator, you'd be like, "Oh, okay, I see your point, lol."
