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.

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.

The cops are gonna stop one person before this becomes a million dollar lawsuit.

But they'll be consistent with the logic that you can't legally be forced to divulge your medical information... right?

Not only that, but to protect my health, as someone highly at risk of death from COVID, it’s much more effective when others wear masks too!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

yeah that seems something most folks don't seem to get. if you have a room full of people sharing air and one is masked and randomly someone has covid the mask is protecting them more than the one covered because if he is the randomly chosen person then it will keep it out of the air in high conentrations but if its someone else the maks wearer just needs to eat or get it on their hands or whatever.

But how do you know if the person is wearing a mask to disguise their identity?

"We are going to talk to them and find out"

Sounds good to me...

Dear Long Island: should I just give up on you?

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the facts that Nassau County has a shitload of colleges AND a GOP majority that wants to make it easier for cops to suppress and punish constitutionally protected criticism of their favorite fascist apartheid regime, nuh-uh!

In Red Dead Redemption you get a lot of shit from people when you’re wearing a mask
