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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


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.

Why would shifting the day, by one I might add, change the amount of hooliganism?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because Halloween is associated with the devil and the religious wackos can’t have our children celebrating the devil.

So by celebrating it a day early, it's a loophole, and god can't get mad.

Yeah it's like how butt sex doesn't count as sex cause it's just in a butt

Unless you both have a penis. Then they put you in a camp and attach electrodes to your chest and shock you while showing you porn and call it therapy.

Sounds like that could go both ways. “Don’t threaten me with a good time” sort of deal.

You ever think about how someone at those camps needs to curate that playlist? Or perhaps the owner already having the perfect gay porn playlist was the inspiration for the camp..

We love our moral panics here in the US. Especially Satanic panics.
