They pay the bills, and it's only on their instance -- a topic-based instance at that. And that topic is not politics.

If they don't want that kind of braindead inflammatory political crap from, well....you, then that's their right.

No one is obligated to platform you, your opinions, or your political propaganda....especially not on their dime.

And, really, let's face it. You only posted that garbage here to spread it. So you're basically pissed and calling their actions "election interference' because they wouldn't let you do that yourself.

Also also: mentions in the post body don't work. So your "let's spam the manager" mentions in the body are useless.

Please adhere to rule #1, which is no victim blaming.

No one pushes you around! You pay the bills around here! When will these people realize that it's your dime??

Basically! Thank you for your support! There's one thing that's puzzling me though! Who are you quoting ??

common misconception but this is not how rights work because freedom of speech overrides it

No one is obligated to platform you, your opinions, or your political propaganda....especially not on their dime.

not true actually this is what freedom of speech is ALL about and there is significant legal president to back this up

So you're basically pissed and calling their actions "election interference' because they wouldn't let you do that yourself.

election interference is real so if you think its not your actually wrong

ISSTHTY

Honestly, banning is one thing. But going back and retroactively nuking a person's every post from appearing on your instance. That's a real big red flag that the admin should be poop in jail.

"Harris, Walz and Democrats’ Joyful Campaign" is a content classic - one of the highest grossing Funhole contents. It's like going to the Louvre to spit on the protective glass.

You are a tankie roach though, of course you should be banned. You're blaming the US for russian genocidal imperialism.

A shame. I was liking the instance enough that I was thinking of getting an account there.
