The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Since 2015-16 hostile anti-democratic governments: Russia, China, Iran, to name a few and their allied western chaos operatives: Rogan, Musk, Peterson, Trump, Stone, to name a few, have been disseminating conspiracy theories, propaganda and disinformation designed to harm and divide humanity. It has worked. This has been going on for a long while, but 2015 is when things really got rolling. We can change this trend if the will is there.
I don't think Rogan is a chaos operative lmao
Name a normal non-chaos actor who has terrorized a world renowned vaccine scientist at their home in the name of "owning the Libs?" Rogan is actually worse than a chaos operative -- he's a domestic terrorist.
Terrorism is a strong word
Yes it is.
Peterson an agent of chaos? Isn't that the man that said people need to tidy their rooms?
Good lord, horseshoe theory is true, now to rebel, you need to be a conservative.
I think it's a bit unfair to throw everyone in a list with Trump. Rogan is not too bright, Musk has totally disconnected from reality, Peterson, I really liked Peterson, but this new, angry and narcissistic personality is irritating. I don't know who Stone is. But none of them is a total caricature of a well behaving human. Trump is the embodiment of every negative american stereotype: dumb, narcissistic, loud and obnoxious, without any merit or moral. Still, half of the USA elected this moron, because no one else was talking to them, or took their concerns seriously. The left and the right radicalized each other. The left have to start with getting of from the moral high ground, and start talking at least with the center, and as a reaction the right hopefully will disengage from their more extremely bigoted ideas. If the left keep up their echo chamber, and make everyone an enemy who has a different view on some things, there's gonna be a civil war. And this time one side has more guns, and nothing to lose.
A couple of things I disagree with here. All those mentioned absolutely belong in the same category as trump. Really only about 30% of eligible voters elected trump (we really need to work on voter turnout). What the wackos on the right call the radical left is so center it's painful. 80s republicans are about the equivalent of what the Dems are now. And fuck the right for trying to take away people's rights to live and pursue happiness. This is not a "both sides" issue by any stretch.
Absolutely!
