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:
[https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/61667ae3-482f-44fa-9b80-374c150c5bae.jpeg] I’m
sure there will be questions, let me see if I can address the most obvious ones:
1) 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. 2) 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. 3) 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
[http://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. tl;dr -

Continuing with the rise in anger towards wrong think on world, it’s now uncivil to post negative Biden articles.
Unban lenins2ndcat then. All I ever did was promote communism.
Oh! You’re Lenins2ndcat? I need to thank you so much then! Without you talking to me several years ago back on reddit, I never would’ve actually become an ML and would’ve probably been one of those smug lemmitors complaining about the tankies.
A brief chat and a few public comments, I don’t expect you to remember a 5 minute conversation 5 years ago, but just letting you know that you do make a difference doing what you do. :)

Yep that’s me. Was this a chat? I had a loooooooooooooooooot of chats 1 on 1 with users on reddit.

Was it in r/therightcantmeme? I feel like I was at my most active (and hated by libs) during that period.
Maybe? Might’ve been r/shitliberalssay, I haven’t used reddit in years.
hmmhmmmmm they banned me lol
Probably was r/therightcantmeme, doesn’t really matter where it was anyway. Just glad I got out of the reddit “leftism” fish trap.
I’m glad my incessant posting reaches a few people.
