Lemmy seems to have forgotten how much this platform leaned into censorship during the pre-election period. Several months ago, before the Harris switch-out, if you brought up Biden’s issues, you would absolutely be downvoted and labeled a Republican troll.

I saw it happen on Lemmy, and I personally dealt with the insults for saying it—and I’m a socialist and voted socialist!

Now, of course, most of Lemmy is perfectly fine with jumping on the Biden hate train, but trust me, until recently, criticizing Biden’s health was a surefire way to get banned. I got banned from .world instance for posting a reuter news article saying that Trump was gaining in the polls pre-election.

Everyone said I was wrong, brought up my previous comments about Biden’s declining health, said I was a russian-plant, and promptly banned me.

The c/politics community over in .world even made a rare non-news post about me being banned, and pinned it up top for a while, which was met with much fanfare and applause about my “demise.”

Feel free to check out my comments on .world—nothing I said was wrong. In fact, everything I said was proven right on election night: https://lemmy.world/u/universalmonk

Oh and they also said I would disappear after the election because I was getting paid by Russia to post. Yet, here I am. LMAO
