Magazine

@politics on kbin.social is a magazine to share and discuss current events news, opinion/analysis, videos, or other informative content related to politicians, politics, or policy-making at all levels of governance (federal, state, local), both domestic and international. Members of all political perspectives are welcome here, though we run a tight ship.

Community guidelines and submission rules were co-created between the Mod Team and early members of @politics. Please read all community guidelines and submission rules carefully before engaging our magazine.

Rules

Moderation is the responsibility of all users in @politics - please report threads and comments that violate community and submission guidelines. If you don’t report it, there’s no guarantee that the Moderators will see the violation. Violating guidelines will result in removal of content and comments. Consistent disregard for guidelines will result in a ban; egregious violations will result in a ban, regardless of frequency. Please allow the Moderators up to 12 hours to take action on reports.

Community Guidelines

Be civil. When leaving comments, do not descend below “contradiction” on this chart. Brigading, trolling, doxxing, hate speech, calls for violence, or other such behaviors will not be tolerated.

Upvote/boost based on quality of the content, not on alignment of its perspective with your own. The Mod Team discourages upvoting comments that do not contribute to discussion, but invites comments running the gamut from humorous to serious.

No disinformation permitted. Threads and comments advancing agendas not supported by empirical science or study will be removed.

No neo-Nazism, fascism, or white supremacy. Unlike progressivism or conservatism, these are not political positions; they are postures of authoritarianism and are inherently anti-democratic methods of exerting control through bigotry and hate. Zero tolerance.

Informative or educational content only. Memes and images will be removed.

Do not use the body of the link submission to start the conversation. Instead, submit the first comment in your submission. See below for submission rules.

No reposts. Please check the “newest” queue before submitting.

Submission Rules

Source reliability - The Mod Team will create and maintain a white and black list of popular media sources based on the reliability scores appearing in the Media Bias Chart. Reliability scores below 32 on the chart will be removed. For sources that do not appear on the chart, Moderators will exercise personal discretion based on perceived veracity. Moderators will never remove content on the sole basis of viewpoint alignment.

Submission type - Submissions must be of the Link type for text or video sources. Text sources may be current news, editorial/opinion pieces, or analysis. Videos must also adhere to the principles of informative and reliable reporting.

Content type - Content should relate to Election coverage, SCOTUS, International policy, Federal/State/Local government, and the like. It is highly encouraged to copy and paste at least the first five paragraphs into the body of the submission.

Titles - Submission titles must match the source title except for the use of all capital letters. All caps titles are not permitted.

Discussion threads - Users may create a Thread instead of sharing a link to start a broader discussion related to politics but not necessarily to a specific event. Click the “OC” checkbox when creating the thread, include the label “Discussion:” and a clear prompt (sentence or question) in the title, and use the body of the thread to provide context or framing for the discussion you’d like to inspire. Enter Discussions at your own risk! Discussion threads are a designated place to create a community of like minds or to engage in lively debate, but will not be a figleaf for homophobia, transphobia, racism, or other hate speech.
