Watching them wrestle with this situation is probably the funniest thing I've seen this week but pretty sure Trump worship/racism will win out 😁

This post suggests that the appearance of unity is the result of mod censorship.

I caught myself from falling down the rabbit hole after the "Weird Christian Rant". Excerpt:

We have a liberal minded protestor doing what they think is the most justified thing imaginable. I’ve been there before as a young rebellious metal head, and I really feel for the heart of these young protestors just starting life. While at the same time, we have conservative minded federal employees doing what they think is the most justified thing imaginable. Been there recently as an older person who understands the legality and purpose of immigration laws.

The both-sidesing and casual dismissal of "young" people (Pretti was 37). And still that comment got removed.

Yeah that comment bugged me. Was very dismissive like "oh he's young and thought he was on the right side."

That is always what happens with potentially controversial news stories over there. Before any official party narrative have been established, the morons are just freestyling their own thoughts, then the official narrative is established from above, and the morons who freestyled wrong gets erased, and peace and unity reigns once more among the fascists.

It has been the standard practice at least since 2016. The reason they still have any accounts left is because it is nothing but sock puppets and bots.

Must be nice to be able to dictate a narrative like that. Also to be so annoyingly united. Whereas the opposing side is always fractured and fights amongst itself

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

That's on par for reddit. At least for the last 12 months.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 24 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh buddy. A lot longer than 12 months

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Well yeah but , specifically it's been heavy censorship for the last year.

Nothing to do with anything. That sub has always been one of the most censored subs on reddit, that is the only way they are able to contain it as a propaganda bubble. I have followed it since 2016 and it is the same as it was then.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I don't think I ever visited it. But I feel like I recall something about conservative people who wanted the Epstein files released were being banned from conservative subs.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 3 points 15 hours ago

Same here, can attest.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 13 points 17 hours ago

That sub is extremely heavily censored even for Reddit.
