I'm all in on the punch a Nazi approach here.

I say yes provided that reliable/reputable media outlets are the distributor.

We can't cut the pie so fine, though. Like that NYT opinion piece from Justice Roberts was garbage, but still deserves platform here imo

Thanks for bringing this up!

Do you think community engagement should be a response to misinformation or moderation be the response? I've already seen some trolls be answered with a flurry of factual links debunking misinformation claims, and it was glorious.

I think we may need to stipulate and employ the use of badges (similar to submission flair from reddit) so that users can use kbin QoL userscripts to filter out content they don't want.

Hi all. I'm the current listed owner of !politics but I just got promoted yesterday so my first time moderating in kbin.social.

Please let me know if there's something on my end that I'm supposed to do to equip all the 3 other mods for our magazine.

Thank you!

I agree with all this. Let's see how other community members chime in.

What's the line you'd draw if I'm trying to cultivate a clown college magazine for trolls? Hehehe (saaaarcasm)

Yes. We are on the same page. Are you also a former/current journalist? I copy edited for a regional paper for a few years.

I think to avoid confusion in the future, perhaps the rule should be quite expansive on this front to accept either. Best practices and whatnot.

Other discussions in this thread have highlighted reputable sources of content. This can include NYT opinions and news, but would never permit content from OANN.

I hope this addresses the concern about opinion/editorial content.

Yeah, I don't think the goal can ever be pure, emotionless neutrality from a mod team.

The line may be subjective, but I want it to be transparent. Some rules may be arbitrary, but applied consistently and are sourced from the community who wants to live with them.

Fully agreed about blacklists and whitelists. I would like to base those lists on something very public and transparent such as the Media Bias Chart so it doesn't seem like the mods are being arbitrary and targeting one user just because we are opposite sides of the aisle.

Excuse me, I reserve the right to disrespect myself publicly. lolol ;)
