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.

And yet you've a ruler in your hand.
No one is whatabouting, context is important and ignoring it because of inconvenience is absurd.
Not at all, no one said that.
What was the point of your reply then? We know the fucking context.
I would argue most people think they know the history but honestly do not.
Nuanced intelligent argument..... No wait.
Seriously when people do this so they honestly think they're dunking on someone who they can't form an argument against?
Cute that you think your drivel is worth the time to 'argue' against haha
It's cute you think you're accomplishing something with Internet douchebaggery.
I mean everyone knows immature arguments on lemmy change the world, right?
And you think what? That absurdist bullshit is somehow doing something other then showing that you're smug as hell? You're not adding anything you're just being annoying, what point is there to that.
I'm not trying to add anything to anything lol just personal amusement.
You've never come across an argument or a point made online so dumb that you want to slam your face into the desk? Yeah well it's much quicker, easier, and fun, just to post dumb brainlets in response than to have an asinine argument.
So internet douchebaggery, glad I can still call it when I see it.
Totally, I just take the actual time to form an argument against it rather then post annoying memes and generally being shitty. Are you not now involved in an asinine conversation? So what are you actually avoiding aside from providing a stance and standing by it? It seems to be you want to make an argument but can't form anything but posting "brainlets" (as an aside, very very dumb name for shitty low effort memes).
