As they should be. And all you Lemmy's who tried to ignore facts and tried to censor people who brought it up should be ashamed.

How'd all that censorship work out for ya? :)

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

I don't have a short memory; I've never heard of you.

I meant as in short memory about how quickly Lemmy, in general, forgets how much it was pro-censorship before the election.

I was just giving a example of how the censorship stuff happened to me too. I've just edited my post to clarify. :)
