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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
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.

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.

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.

Yeah, I get the impression that they are out to crush him, make an example of him.
Very much so. Here are a couple of their responses after the verdict:

Except this is just him low-balling the plaintiffs' offer to settle for $85m. He's been stalling for years and Lafferty is slowly dying of cancer
Jayzuz. :'(
America: where you can die from cancer due to being unable to afford the wildly overpriced treatments because the asshole who owes you millions of dollars for lying about your mother dying in a school shooting can spend over a decade stalling justice.
Where's Amos when you need him?
Recovering from a gunshot, usually.
That was actually Prax’s line, and Amos thought it was cold as hell.
False. In that scene, Amos is explaining how people like Roma (off-screen) force kids into prostitution, and that such people deserve to be punished. This was long before Prax's badass arc.
The Expanse!!! Whoop whoop!!!
Publicly broadcast face punching could suppress future incidents; ‘s worth a try.
It blows my mind that Jones still has a platform and money after the shit he pulled on those families.
This is the true failure of our legal system, as well as countenancing lies as free speech for so long in the first place.
Everything should have been liquidated after the judgement.
