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.
- 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!

UniversalMonk@lemmy.world "Socialist Mormon Satanist" stats generated @ 10/21/2024, 11:43:45 AM EDT
Top 10 duplicate submissions from UniversalMonk@lemmy.world (total 623 exact dupes and 321 fuzzy (70% or more similar) dupes found).
None of this takes into account time reading others' posts/comments, or alts this user may secretly have.
lemmy.ml banned this user yesterday for being a troll. Isn't it about time that lemmy.world did also? For Christ's sake, there is an election going on, and it's been beyond clear for two months that this user intends to sway it, and fully opposite anything resembling a leftist goal.
Agreed, it's absurd that such an obvious bot or shared account has gotten a free pass this long. If there's a legitimate desire for discussion on these articles, someone else can easily post them, but this account in particular reeks of pushing a narrative in spite of the community's desire for sincere discussion.
The mods are really pussyfooting around this guy. Just fucking ban him already.
Update: @UniversalMonk@lemmy.world was banned lmao.
If the script I wrote to expose this troll/sealion doesn't change any minds, literally nothing will.
Beautiful 😍
It's heartening to get positive feedback like this, I appreciate it. I've been calling this guy out for a while and it disgusts me how often people defend them.
You're doing a good job, keep it up!
There seems to be a new one who just showed up as well: @Dot@feddit.org
Amateur numbers though ;)
