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:

  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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

    The irony of someone constantly being banned from here for misinformation, here to defend an admitted propagandist.

    Weren’t you just accusing this community of supporting Israel in another post somewhere? Ahh yes, here it is:

    You should know /politics and /news ban anyone critical of israel and Lemmy.world is ran by Zionists.

    Wasn’t that you?

    As I recall, you said you weren’t posting here anymore.

      Amazing you managed to not respond to a single argument and went for ad hominems and proving my point.

        Nothing here is ad hominem if it’s true. You HAVE been banned for misinformation, you ARE defending OP

        There is no argument to respond to as you’ve not made one.

          I am unsure why you are appealing to authority in a post questioning said authority.

          If you have nothing but ad-hominems I have nothing to respond to anymore.
