Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it'll be 99% US stuff, but that's not a rule.
This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can't participate in bad faith:
If you claim someone said something they didn't say, that's a temp ban.
If you make a factual claim but then aren't interested in backing it up, that's a temp ban.
If you're asked one or two reasonable questions about what you said, and you're still talking but you're pretending the questions didn't happen or rejecting the premise of answering them, that's a temp ban.
The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let's see how it works. Maybe this is a fool's errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.
Other misc rules:
No unreliable sources .
Keep it productive please.
Self posts for discussion are fine. This includes videos or photos. No meme posts or screenshots please.
No personal insults.
No racism / transphobia / related bigotry.
