A quick note on the return2ozma ban: - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
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 - https://youtu.be/C6BYzLIqKB8#t=7s [https://youtu.be/C6BYzLIqKB8#t=7s]

Continuing with the rise in anger towards wrong think on world, it's now uncivil to post negative Biden articles.

    If someone pumped the gas and was posting dozens and dozens of pro or anti Trump stuff? Yeah, I think I’d do the same.

    Bull fucking shit that's literally all the liberals do, endlessly. Day after day after day. I'm ok with it because Trump's a dickhead but come the fuck on stop being such dirty fucking liars while at the same time claiming this is about the person you're banning not being in "good faith". Holy shit.

      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. :)

            Was it in r/therightcantmeme? I feel like I was at my most active (and hated by libs) during that period.
