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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


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.

This is an adult conversation, is it?

It was until someone got report happy. So I’ll repeat my comment in a more civil manner:

Do I detest Goodwill as a corporation? Absolutely.

Do I think disabled people deserve better pay? Absolutely.

Do I think you’ve acknowledged that your local goodwill supports your neighbors? Nope.

Do I think you’ve acknowledged your local Goodwill maybe the only community support organization helping your queer neighbors & non Christian neighbors? Nope.

Do I think you’ve tried to boil an incredibly complex socio-economic support organization into a rage bait headline? Absolutely.

Do I think you’re unable to actually comprehend how complex your neighborhood truly is & what good that local Goodwill might be willing to bring to the table? Absolutely.

Do I think you’ll reply with a miseducated reconstitution of my words to support your narrative? You betcha!

I got "report happy" because you kept breaking incivility rule.

Do I think you’ve acknowledged that your local goodwill supports your neighbors? Nope.

Because it was irrelevant to both my point and the links I posted.

Do I think you’ve acknowledged your local Goodwill maybe the only community support organization helping your queer neighbors & non Christian neighbors? Nope.

Because it was irrelevant to both my point and the links I posted.

Do I think you’ve tried to boil an incredibly complex socio-economic support organization into a rage bait headline? Absolutely.

I posted two links to support my point, you apparently didn't notice.

Do I think you’re unable to actually comprehend how complex your neighborhood truly is & what good that local Goodwill might be willing to bring to the table? Absolutely.

Also not relevant to my point, but again uncivil, so I will again get "report happy."

Do I think you’ll reply with a miseducated reconstitution of my words to support your narrative? You betcha!

"Miseducated" isn't a word.

My only point this entire time is that Goodwill doesn't pay disabled people enough. You apparently agree, so I'm not sure why you've been so hostile.
