Seeing the liberty hub head mod get chased out because of an honest mistake is pretty fucking disheartening. Liberty hub was one of the only places that was free of the reddit brainworms that infest almost every lemmy instance because of liberty hub's aggressive modding.
All of the people celebrating him being chased out have been banned from liberty hub for very valid reasons, whether they were very argumentative or genocide apologists. Seriously. Look up the modlog of the people actually celebrating it.
I could put up with 196's bullshit by just blocking them and hoping none of their frequent posters wandered into spaces i took part in but the fact that non-voters is still allowed to run when it's very clearly just meant to be a place to post content that's incendiary towards people who hold political beliefs that don't line up with mindgoblin's as a reaction to mindgoblin being banned from liberty hub for being incredibly argumentative is honestly pretty gross.
I'm just gonna pass mod of the comms i manage to someone i can sorta hope to handle it.
I'm too fucking old and not terminally online enough to put up with this, i'm clearly not the target demographic. Good fucking luck
Criticizing Biden is not the same as advocating against voting. This position is something that LOC has had to defend himself on many times, and one that many don't seem to grasp. If I'm not mistaken, LOC at one point even said he'd vote for Biden when the time came. I don't think any person should have to broadcast their voting plans explicitly to avoid being the target of controversy, but here we are.
It takes a nuanced position to criticize the current establishment for being (at best) complicit in genocide while still recognizing the very real danger of fascism. Many people just see the memes bashing Biden and assume no nuance behind it.
