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.
Simple. They’re not buying the explanation.

he was posting stories from reputable sources.

no one shouldbe compelled to spread a story that supports a point of view with which they disagree. so long as his posts were, in themselves, in compliance with the rules, there should have been no problem.

you know what, fair point. of course, that’s sort of what mods are for, and i think that the power to decide which sources are legitimate is itself the power to propagandize.

i thought you were done.
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
each of their posts was in compliance with the rules

the wrong thing was done. i’m not mad. i just know what injustice is.
i thought you were done already. is it this time for real?
He admitted he disliked Biden. That does not make him a propagandist.

When people only post negative things about Trump what is the reason?

Everyone who posts anything about Trump on this instance? You ever see a good post about Trump here? Or hell, China?
