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.

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.

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.

Lettuce take a moment.

Just continuing to prove that Lettuce beats Truss

Note to Liz - never wear lettuce green the rest of your life. You might want to avoid brown tones too.

Hey, Liz, it is not "supression of free speech" if you just run away from reality with your tail between your legs.

Sounds like she walked off on her own accord, not due to the recommendations of any security team.

I prefer people who can laugh at themselves in moments like these.

That slowly unrolling lettuce banner is one of the funniest fucking things ever

Also has to be the most entertaining thing ever to happen at a Liz Truss "pro-Trump speaking tour." Can you imagine seeing that advertised and thinking "that'll be good, I'll go"?

Come to think of it, what's the point of a pro-Trump event in Beccles? Does Beccles have a big impact on the US election?
