Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it'll be 99% US stuff, but that's not a rule.
This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can't participate in bad faith:
- If you claim someone said something they didn't say, that's a temp ban.
- If you make a factual claim but then aren't interested in backing it up, that's a temp ban.
- If you're asked one or two reasonable questions about what you said, and you're still talking but you're pretending the questions didn't happen or rejecting the premise of answering them, that's a temp ban.
The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let's see how it works. Maybe this is a fool's errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.
Other misc rules:
- No unreliable sources.
- Keep it productive please.
- Self posts for discussion are fine. This includes videos or photos. No meme posts or screenshots please.
- No personal insults.
- No racism / transphobia / related bigotry.
