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!

It won’t work because, like every socialist system everywhere, capitalists will seek to undermine and interfere.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At least someone else on your home instance noticed and admits it.

Shit what's wrong with .world?

I just set up my new account there because mine is about to die. Do I need to go elsewhere?

They're not generally fans of communism, plus the other replies. Your preferences may vary.

The .world admins are… Not great. There have been several instances of them cozying up to users with unfortunate viewpoints. It’s not as bad as Reddit, but it’s certainly not great either.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

I have had multiple comments removed for “misinformation” because I outlined historical context that goes against anti-communist rhetoric. All factual stuff that anyone could google, but it makes communism look not terrible so the mods of .world removed it.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Any recommendations? Is your instance decent?

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

DBzero is where I would sign up if I weren't best suited to blahaj zone. Highly recommend

(I'm not the person you asked though)

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 18 hours ago

I'm not best suited to blahaj but the way you put it and how I feel about it make me think you're right. Thanks!

The person I asked are the instance? Because the instance seems okay but I haven't really looked

[–] faultyproboscus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

The person. I already had them blocked.

You may also check instances that are de/federated as well, and may want to join several instances just to get a different mix, even if de/federation is similar. You can use the same username on them, assuming it's not already in use.
