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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
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.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Still not continuing the conversation, I see.
Where am I continuing the conversation? This is not the conversation we were previously having.
This is an entirely new conversation where you make a fool out of yourself, and I point and laugh at you.
The previous conversation was about me making totally valid points and you shitting on them with unrealistic idealism. If you lived in the real world, you would understand that the only place where idealism works is charity and your vote in regards to US politics. The fact you have it twisted is absolutely absurd to the point where I refuse to coversate with you on such topic.
Right here.
The current conversation you can't let go of started when I deeply offended you by saying that every gun owner thinks they're responsible. Every school shooter, every negligent "I didn't know it was loaded" tragedy, every last suicide, without a single fucking exception, thought at the time that they were a responsible gun owner. But since your personal identity as a Responsible Gun Owner requires that to be a title you can convey upon yourself, you can't admit that anyone who claims it can be mistaken. Because what if you're one of the mistaken ones?
Now have the last word. Unlike you, I can end a conversation without pretending to start a new one.
