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.

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.

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.

No, proven a point that online outrage movement still has no arguments, and zero ctitical thinking skills. Nice jumping to conclusions though.

Again, look at your votes - your comment is still sitting at 2 votes. Presumably, one person upvoted you

Hell, I'd go as far as to say "women's sports are boring" is the mainstream opinion.

No Internet outrage movement took place here... No one tried to offer you empty arguments or dogpile you with a lack of critical thinking skills.

Whoever you expected to fight didn't show up.

Either they're not here, they don't exist, or their beliefs aren't quite what you think they are

Or they refused to entertain me, which is quite some progress if you ask me considering the usual outrage the second the word "woman", "gay", or "trans" appears in a sentence.

I literally said your stance is the norm, your first comment is still at 2 votes. No one else has engaged

Who are you arguing against?

You're victimizing yourself and shadow boxing in the corner.

You can wake up... That's what being "woke" actually means, always has. It's waking up from being an NPC
