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.

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.

Idk, wouldn't they spread to other states or maybe most move to the same location and then turn that place into new Florida

That would entail admitting that climate change is real and that GQP mythos was wrong about something. Based on the way we handled covid, I wouldn't worry about most floridians migrating due to climate change

So basically deny it's happening until the water is up to their necks, then start talking about the importance of boats while they drown?

New Florida already exists. It's called Ohio.

Considering the victory Ohioans just had, I don't know about that.

listen, Florida is more than a set of policy decisions by pudding fingers, Florida is a state of mind.

I assure you, Ohio residents are equally batshit. I live in Erie, PA and deal with them regularly.
