Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

For the record, we removed it here too because the links kept going to a personal blog and not an actual news source.

Someone posted it as replies in the comments, which was fine.

Just a heads up, from voyager mobile, it is not marked that you are an admin or mod of anything. It would be good to declare that to clarify and validate your statement

Edit to be clear I'm not disregarding or objecting to your statement at all. Just clarifying a potential miscommunication by app design.

Interesting, not sure why Voyager wouldn't load the "M" tag next to my name. We might need to get with the developer on that.

Looks good in Boost!

Edit for clarification I'm based on lemm.ee

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Interesting, I fired up Voyager in Android and the comment I made with the "Speak as Moderator" has my name highlighted in Green and the other comments unmarked.

In Boost:

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Nice I've not seen that green text before

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Possibly because you're logged into world.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yup, that was it. Switched to my lemmy.one account and the green goes away.

So it looks like Voyager only respects the mod notification if you're logged in to the instance that the mod is a mod of.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I also can't see it in Sync.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Me neither on Arctic

[–] storcholus@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Boost shows then as a mod

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 34 points 3 weeks ago

Does that count as a campaign contribution that should have been reported?

"that JD Vance PDF file" rolls off the tongue pretty well, for what it's worth.

[–] kitnaht@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Honestly, it's worth a read. Basically it boils down to this -- they know damn well all the things he's said about Trump in the past. None of them are new revelations to them. But the biggest one is that he would follow orders when told not to certify the election.

We're in a slow-coup. They tried jumping the gun a little bit on Jan 6th. Trump couldn't help himself. But this has been in the works for more than 20 years.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 11 points 3 weeks ago

I’m so glad they used the full version of this photo. The look on Trump’s face is wonderful.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Oh man, the republicans are going to be so mad to hear that an immigrant conspired with a candidate to manipulate the media to hide information and influence the election.

That's like all he things they're upset about, so surely they'll be upset any minute now.

Surely.

Any minute now.

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Gosh. What can you say about X[itter] that isn't at least damming by faint praise?

"At least it's not Facebook?"

Sigh.

I sure wish one gigantic corporate outlet would set up a Mastodon instance or something and stop using Xitter altogether. That would start the ball rolling. That platform is for Nazis, and being on it only supports the Nazi platform.

Has anyone checked in on Matt Taibbi, he must be stunned speechless.
