    I am wondering if the mods of news@lemmy.world and politics@lemmy.world regret censoring the people who rightfully said these things and it would cost us the election. Like there’s mods in here who go “yeah that sucks, I knew it.” but also just defended Biden/Harris and removed good faith users who posted citations that even their beloved Media Bias Bot said was a good source.

    They did it, banned the people who said it, and then people went “where are all those critics now? i guess putin turned them off! hurr hurr haw haw!”

    Genuinely wonder if they question their choices of just doing this for free with literally zero benefit to their website and the country as a whole.

        I assume so, as that’s the motto of any criticism.

        A mod recently got mad a @return2ozma@lemmy.world for “going back to his roots” by posting actual criticism of the Democrats.

        And I asked him “So is Obama just barred from commenting on them, despite being right the entire time?”

        Mod responded “he spammed it”. I asked “Microwave posts about 20 posts a day about the same topics, why do they get a pass?” And I never got an answer.

        I think flat.world is basically .ml for liberals.
