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.

MODERATORS
CATO backed the suit and their board of directors is about half bankers or former bankers. This isn't even the first time they tried this, back October last year.
They couldn't win in public opinion, they couldn't win by lobbying, so they tried it in court. They failed completely to demonstrate that they had any standing to bring this case.
They also claim to be libertarian. Just something to remember the next time people tell you that there is a difference between the two.
Don't you know? You don't need standing anymore. You only need imaginary hypothetical possible standing.
Or maybe that just applies to wedding website developers. I'm not clear on the case law.
Yeah I admit I don't understand the law very well but it's weird how offended observer no longer counts for church separation laws. That web design event planner was especially interesting since no one gay had actually asked about it. Seems the lawyers just made it up.
It was very strange. Most lawyers expected the supreme court to toss it due to lack of standing. The fact that they didn't means that they're more of a legislative branch now. It's not a good precedent to set.
