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.

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.

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.

This is not a new thing. People have won settlements many times in the past for being arrested for flipping off cops. In CA I think someone was awarded multiple millions of dollars for it.
Step one: Become friendly with cop.
Step two: Cop friend pulls you over.
Step three: Flip off cop friend to get arrested.
Step four: Get settlement, get married to one another, and run off to Barbados together.
Step five: Argue about how the money went away too fast.
Step six: Get divorced, sell your body for drugs.
Step seven: Flip off a Barbados cop to get arrested.
Step eight: Spend the rest of your days in a Caribbean prison.
I was hoping for more of a Weekend at Bernies spin on this. Can we get a Step 6.5 where your dead ex is used in an insurance scam?
Step 6.5: Sacrifice the wrong kind of bird and now your dead ex will only dance their way to the buried treasure if you play the right kind of music
