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.
What’s the acceptable good:bad ratio for reporting on a dementia-addled septuagenarian perpetrating a genocide in Palestine after having done cool shit in past like thr crime bill and going on a segregationist tirade against bussing in the congress?
love to fight for reproductive rights by supporting the guy who voted against reproductive rights in 1982 and did nothing to stop them from being eliminated on his watch
