Continuing with the rise in anger towards wrong think on world, it’s now uncivil to post negative Biden articles.
Shockly that comm looks just like r/politics now
The libs have been unbelievably touchy about getting called blue maga lately
Because the more self aware ones know it’s true, and it grates on the edge of their minds.
There are more than a few liberals who know Biden is terrible, who know that ‘vote blue no matter who’ is idiotic, but having to confront why those things are unpleasant is deeply uncomfortable. Realizing that legitimizing ‘lesser evilism’ as not just a minor harm reduction tactic but instead as the overarching aim of your supported political party is abhorrent.
Every accusation they make against tankies is actually their own confession
get out of here with that what about ism
– their response to that
you can what about ist deez nuts lmao
- Can I still post negative stuff about Biden? Absolutely! We have zero interest in running an echo chamber.
gee, what’s a chilling effect?
However, if ALL you’re posting is negative, you may want to re-think your priorities.
maybe Biden is only doing bad shit
You get out of the world what you put into it and all that.
historical idealism
Being ‘overly critical’ of Joe Biden definitionally makes you a terrible and negative person, sorry sweaty I don’t make the rules
Forcing all our users to engage in equal air time laws that don’t even apply to major news corporations any more. This is all very normal.
The problem isn’t that they posted negative articles about Hitler, we don’t want to run an echo chamber or anything. The problem is they only posted negative articles about Hitler, and admited they wanted others to also be negative about Hitler.
Why all the negativity? Is that really what you want to put out in the world?
I wonder if Lemmy.world’s Red Scare will result in more leftists leaving .world, and more Liberals from Reddit replacing them, creating a schism between Lemmy.world and related instances, and Grad/Hexbear/.ml. a sort of Multipolar Lemmy.
I’m curious how long it will take until world just defeds from everyone for that reason
The admins know the userbase will eat itself without outside stimulus
Good point, .ml has been the new target since they can’t see grad or hexbear. They need a boogeyman.
Wonder who they’ll go after next
db0, probably, or lemm.ee. It will continue to be a moving target.
It’s a shifting target, anyone not in lock-step with Biden is challenged or eventually banned if it seems like people agree with them.
Yes. I was originally on world. I left because of exactly that.
Same, but .ee.

ngl i think its kind of unlikely, maybe a few people will but we wont see any real numbers leaving unless something big happens like .world defeds .ml or the instance just breaks and even then i doubt that many people will leave
Looking at it dialectically, I can’t see this cold war lasting forever. Eventually the contradiction will be resolved, some inciting incident will cause it.
Might even be now, finally.
reddit.world
Lemmy.world really is just a small version of
wonder how many pro-china articles you’d need to post there to get banned
They will actually pre ban anyone who even seems like they might post a pro China article.
In usual lemmy.world form their explanation makes no sense and is even hypocritical. They say the poster admitted to bad faith engagement and provide a link, supposedly as evidence for this. The link is just the modlog saying they were banned for bad faith engagement, lol.
Sorry babe, I just banned you for racism. My evidence? Check out my ban message it says “for racism” right there.
They also suggest that you’re not allowed to post too many anti-Biden posts. How many is too many? Why not let the users of the platform upvoted or downvote rather than create an unclear restriction? Of course there is nothing coherent because this is actually just a petty fan of Genocide Joe trying to rationalize why they banned someone for criticizing their politician.
To be consistent, this mod must now ban themselves for a month lol
Arrested for resisting arrest
Absolutely! We have zero interest in running an echo chamber
Unban lenins2ndcat then. All I ever did was promote communism.
Presumption of innocence.

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.
“Rules-based order”, Lemmy.world edition.
Dude, your house got hit by lightning!
Eh
Now it’s on fire!
What are you gonna do
The fire is about to spread to your propane tank!
Jesus, all I ever hear out of you is negativity:
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.

Biden doesn’t have enough slips to merit the number of negative posts, and the absence of anything positive indicates he was only here to stir shit up.
It IS possible to mention that Biden’s numbers are improving (they are) or that the (Murdoch owned) WSJ article was bullshit:

I’ve kicked that bee hive a lot, can confirm they do not much like it.
They really miss the irony of saying you can’t be critical of Biden while also saying you can’t say anything negative in China that’s illegal there
“bad faith” is when you say things indicating you are not a devout follower of Biden and must be purged for wrongthink
