Honestly I don't get the hype about the US presidency, like sure, it was kinda shocking at first how Trump won, but after that I accepted it. I'd rather listen to other issues than the same thing over and over again.

I also find it wierd that many of the fellow Australians around me know more about American politics than Australian politics, likely just because our media covers it to no effing end, sure, do one news story, but not a fucken bajillion.

Doubling down on the censorship of inconvenient truths will surely help after your whole instance demonstrated the folly in censoring inconvenient truths. /s

Remember: if you think you have to censor the truth about your supposed left wing candidate of choice, they’re probably NOT actually very leftist at all and you’re doing fascist shit directly for a fascist.

If you refuse to allow people to speak the truth, you’re not even doing a decent job, pretending to be one of the “ good guys”.

Idk what the mod team's philosophy is on incorporating member feedback vs shaping it to mod teams vision, but fwiw, here's mine.

I don't want to see every other post being about Trump either. But I also want conversation to happen. The compromise solution seems to be a mega thread; conversations continue without flooding everyone's feed. For however this temp rule is in place, delete offending posts and redirect to the mega thread.
