The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Freedom of speech is a cultural and institutional phenomenon, which happens to be mentioned by the US Bill of Rights.

It is not a term which refers to the US amendment, any more than “peaceably assemble” or “levy taxes” or “quartering of troops” are references to parts of the US Constitution.
