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.
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.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Right. Thoughtcrime laws would never be used to instead lock up all the Jews for being Jewish, right? No one would ever do that, if we just abolished the 1A to make everything great.
The person said we need to be intolerant of intolerance and you immediately jumped to targeting Jews as a reaction.
Why did you make that specific leap when nobody else here did, and what does it say about you that it doesn't say about us?
Sure, let's pretend you're asking this in good faith.
So you support intolerance because you are Jewish?
Yeah, I doubt that.
"I can imagine something bad" is a worthless counter argument. I can imagine a bad outcome for any situation that anybody has ever found themselves in.
But your imagination isn't reality. There are so many steps between hate crime legislation and your fantasy land. Even the reality of the holocaust you're alluding to had absolutely no resemblance to your racist-enabling gibberish here.
You really need to take a critical look at the people who taught you this shit.
Yes, being intolerant of homophobia that habitually results in murders such as the one we're discussing is totally equivalent to being intolerant of people practising the Jewish faith peacefully!
Sure, we can use your logic and pick a religion that causes more murders - after all, without many Jews, there aren't many Jewish murderers. Would you prefer we swap to Islam or Christianity?
And don't think I missed you saying "peacefully". The proposed idea is that we incarcerate "peaceful" homophobes. That's the whole topic here, because we already incarcerate the violent ones.
Hate and prejudice for a group of people cannot be peaceful, "peaceful homophobia" is an oxymoron.
That would be intolerance though
