I realize that this is a very hot political season. Its impossible to keep a "good vibes" feel with this year's election politics, so I'm not asking for "Don't be an Ass" or other such naive statement. But please try to be on your best behavior. This is "BestOfLemmy", and not a political debate site.

I've nuked a couple of subthreads that have gotten too hot. Please report anything you think is unhelpful to the greater discussion. I'll remove distracting posts as I see them, but I don't promise "good moderation" here. I'm just gonna cleanup what I can see and when I see it.

The general rule for "BestOfLemmy" is to be an appropriate place for a Lemmy beginner to get a feel of Lemmy in general. Yall are somewhat forgiven for the heated topic, but its not a complete pass. Try to keep the perspective of "newbies to Lemmy are stopping by here first". And think about how you'd like to present yourself to them.

This is my guiding principle for moderation. This isn't a debate subsite, or debate community. I'm not necessarily interested in having everyone here complete their back-and-forth discussion (especially if it gets heated, swear words, accusatory tones, etc. etc.).

Personally I don't think it's helpful to treat a slavers' pact like how some people treat the bible.

I couldn't give less of a turd about a constitution, especially one that's been the source of endless oppression and genocide. It's a fundamental reason why the usa is such a trash heap.

Idk who nuxcom is but is this really a contender for best of Lemmy? You see the same comment in every other post so is this person that special or do we have a slow day?

Yeah the constitution totally doesn't need a rewrite or a few extra amendments thrown in
