    This is a bit off topic but for a supposed bastion of Free Speech can the admin explain why my posts linking to relevant news stories was removed? Surely simple news about Republican Governors starving Children isn’t against Free Speech?

      From my understanding, the rule is posts must confirm the biases of right wing Americans, but comments can be anything as long as they’re not trolling or aggressive.

      I’ll just let you know that I’ve never got any flack from posting here, even though I’m not conservative. In contrast, someone cross posted an article about a Canadian being arrested to the conservative community on sh.itjust.works. I posted a comment there and was instantly banned for life by its mod because it wasn’t conservative.

      I give props to the mods of this community for putting up with the constant downvotes and rebuttals and not just handing out lifetime bans to anyone who disagrees.

        You were banned for spouting garbage misinformation. You’re perfectly allowed to give your opinion so long as it’s based on reality and not just crappy propaganda
