Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've noticed the one Lemmy user in particular has launched a campaign of hate and racism towards Harris and it's kind of rough to see it go unmoderated.
Must be someone I've already blocked, because I'm not seeing it.
Frankly, I'm not seeing any anti-Harris campaign on here anywhere near as organized as the "gEnOcIdE jOe" one.
It was about thirty seconds after Biden announced he was done when it switched to Harris bad posts.
Ouf, it's sad to see it.
They’re regrouping. Trust me. They’re coming back once they have their marching orders.
Just avoid anything hexbear related.
Life improved for me after I blocked that whole instance
I learned with one conversation, this shit is crazy. Blocked it all.
It can be hard to see which instance somebody is on at a glance if you're on mobile.
If you're using Voyager: Go to settings -> appearance then scroll all the way to the bottom and toggle on the option for "Show user instance".
Edit: specified 'appearance' setting
Or thunder for lemmy
I appreciate that and hope it helps somebody, but I am on mbin.
thank you.
Racists on hexbear? I think you might be confused
Confused because they haven't blocked hexbear yet?
I'm sure the totally normal folks on hexbear swear up and down that they aren't racist.
Go ahead and count how many threads call for nuking 'western whites' and get back to us!
I can think of three right off the top of my head.
Name and shame.
Also I would like to simply be aware of who they are so I can block them.
Tempting, but probably frowned upon by the mods. Hang around any of the remotely political threads and you'll get to know some of the more frequent posters and their politics pretty quickly.
I wish you could call them out. I've blocked several and I'm not seeing what you're saying, wonder if it's one I've previously tagged and blocked.
I just block racist trolls... It's so easy, they add nothing to the conversation anyway. We don't have very many of them anyway, they can't figure out how to use Lemmy.
Call them out.
Does it relate to a princess of Oz? I have that one blocked.
