Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No way, I may have been forgiving towards Americans that voted Democratic, absolutely not Trump voters or Jill Stein voters.
It remains incomprehensible and reprehensible to me how people can vote for either of those two.
I am personally sanctioning American goods and services, and I blame USA as a society for Trump.
But of Americans with voting rights, the ones that voted Democratic are not to blame for Trump.
PS: How do you "tag" people on Lemmy?
All sounds reasonable to me. It disgusts me that the culture I grew up in was so insidious as to produce trump. Still hard to fathom, even knowing about the cultural problems we have...
Some of the mobile apps have the tagging feature. I use boost on Android which also has it. You basically just long press a username and select "tag user".
Thanks, I use the "normal" browser interface. Never used an app for lemmy, maybe I should try it?
I would recommend a mobile app, yes. Just feels a little more solid and to me the notifications, video play and a few other features feel smoother on a native app. Boost is great but I wouldn't necessarily recommend the free version because it has ads. No ads in the $5 version which I found worth it because it's a great app.
There are a lot of other choices (https://join-lemmy.org/apps/) but I definitely tried a lot and liked Boost and Connect the best. Sync is okay and I've heard good things about Voyager. Most of the apps have a user tagging feature and I'm certain the ones I've mentioned here do. Only caveat is in Connect it's called "Notes" instead of tags, but it's the same idea. Hope this helps!
Thanks. 👍
