You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:
I’m sure there will be questions, let me see if I can address the most obvious ones:
- Can I still post negative stuff about Biden?
Absolutely! We have zero interest in running an echo chamber. However, if ALL you’re posting is negative, you may want to re-think your priorities. You get out of the world what you put into it and all that.
- Why now?
Presumption of innocence. It may be my own fault, but I do try to think the best of people, and even though they were posting negative articles, they weren’t necessarily WRONG. Biden’s poll numbers, particularly in minority demographics ARE in the shitter. They are starting to get better, but he still has a hell of a hill to climb.
- Why a 30 day temp ban and not a permanent ban?
The articles return2ozma shared weren’t bad, faked, or from some wing-nut bias site like “beforeitsnews.com”, they were legitimate articles from established and respected news agencies, pointing out the valid problems Biden faces.
The problem was ONLY posting the negatives, over and over and then openly admitting that dishonest enagement is their purpose.
Had they all been bullshit articles? It would not have taken anywhere near this much time to lay the ban and it would have been permanent.
30 days seems enough time for them to re-think their strategery and come back to engage honestly.
So wait, do people have to post ‘both sides’ of whether Trump is a fucking shitstain?
Nah, you can post purely factual things that take no side. Or, alternately, post things about other people and things besides Trump. :)
So we’re only posting things that take no sides?
Post in good faith, and if you learn something you posted it’s false then acknowledge and retract and stop posting that in the future. Seems like a reasonable set of rules
Also don’t post the same shit multiple times a day, everyday, forever.
The comm has rules against misinformation, if something is false the mod team should be removing it.
We can post anything, except exclusively anti-biden, or at least not admit to only anti-biden
Interesting how that works
Don’t be a shill and you won’t get banned
unless you’re shilling for the democrats, then you can get a modship!
Define shill, I ask you the same question as I did the other guy.
Would we be having this conversation if was all pro Biden or anti trump?
Like I said to your last comment, I post lots of anti-Trump stuff, but only because most media coverage of Trump is negative. I don’t seek it out.
