MODERATORS
actual 5d chess from the Republicans, or maybe just 1d because their opponents are idiots. They'll hold the vote they pinkie promised they would, and they'll get Senate Democrats to vote against it by including shitty riders like this. Then Dems'll have shutdown the govt for nothing and voted against the healthcare subsidies they shutdown the govt for.
As was the Democrats' plan all along.
All Republicans Are Bad
We had like two days of good news, back to being in the worst possible timeline. Thanks Democrats for caving for fucking nothing while also voting to ban Delta 8 and 9.
Of course they do. What they really want is permanent and total abortion bans without any strings, but if they have to partially fund health insurance premiums for a year to get it, they'll make that concession.
Hey, if you imply that the OP of the post and the comment on the screenshot are the same person: here's my take on that. So far @PapaSkwat indeed breaks no community rules, so I don't really see a reason to ban them. If it's indeed their plan - well, good luck with that. The community currently has 241 subscribers only. Even if you somehow convince all of them to support the party of your choice - it's still only 241 people after all. And that would be extremely hard given that others post their posts, comments and share their opinions too.
You are free to support whomever you want, I don't really care, as long as you don't share fake news or blatant agenda repeatedly.
You sell yourself short! 636 users/Day, up to 2.88K users/6 months. You have reach. That and you moderating it alone are probably why you're being targeted. And you legitimize their cause by giving them a place to post.
The account is 2 days old, beelined to post to your community as soon as it was created, shares the specific name of a bot building troll, and is now creating accounts on other servers to post and comment nearly exclusively in this comm and DonaldJMusk's comms. The writing's on the wall.
@PapaSkwat@lemmings.world and @PapaSkwat@lemmy.today have roughly the same profile picture, profile contents, and start date. The lemmy.today one is even a mod of !GreenParty@lemmy.today, mirroring @DonaldJMusk@maga.place (and UniversalMonk if you still think he's in this picture). None of this is an accident.
Simple reason: both PapaSkwat@lemmy.today and PapaSkwat@lemmings.world are my accounts and it shows that in my profile. Yep, I'm the mod of the Green Party community on lemmy.today. None of that's a secret.
What makes you think that any of that has to do with me posting a news article here? Still don't know what you are trying to say or trying to do. This is a news community. I think you may misunderstand what this community is?
Until you explain re-using a name attached to a bot army, we get it: you know nothing. You can't prove a negative and all you have are negatives.
What? What on earth are you even talking about? Where is a robot army? It's a link to a news article from upi about subsidies. It's not talking about robots at all.
I don't know what you mean by this. Has nothing to do with me or this news article or this community. This is a news community, not a politics community. Did you mean that post for someone else? I'm not sure what you're trying to say or trying to do.
Nothing to do with the article posted or this community. The article I posted is from United Press International. I didn't create the article, it's just a link to their article.
