Jordan Bach, 37, has chronicled his right wing debut on social media, sharing his thought processes as someone whose political views have drastically shifted.
Tho I do agree with your idea of blocking, I just want to make it clear that I’m not MAGA. I’m not sure you meant that you thought I’m MAGA, but I wanted to just make that clear to any others who may be confused. I never have been MAGA, never would be.
I voted Socialist.
But yes, if more people just blocked posters they don’t want to hear from, rather than insulting and going back-and-forth, I think it would be good for everyone long-term.
Except I don’t troll or sealion. I just post things you don’t like. In which case, the blocking feature would work really well. In fact, you told you me were gonna block me.
I know you worked really hard to get me banned across all instances, but not all admins/mods have the same definitions as you do.
The admins on my other instances are well aware of my record on .world. And I have never hidden my name nor my history when I applied to new instances.
For the record, I was right over in .world. The news articles I posted of polls were showing that Trump was gaining in the polls. And they correctly predicted that Trump would win.
And me saying I was voting third party (I voted Socialist, and always said I would) didn’t affect the outcome at all. That’s how big of a margin Trump won. So I stand by everything I did and said over there.
And you were one of the people who accused me of being paid by the russians. And that I would disappear after the election. And remember how you said I’m being paid in rubles and that my “usefulness” would end? And remember when you thought I was part of some trolling conspiracy and was in cahoots with linkerbaan?
Also, just so everyone in this thread knows, you also wrote a program to track me on Lemmy and then proudly publically offered it to other people so they could track me so everyone could post my stats after every comment or post I would make.
Which is fine, that information is public, but to create a program or bot specifically to track me is weird. Since I did nothing to interfere or affect the election in any way, shape, or form.
So rather than tracking me, you probably should just block me, because I’m not going anywhere.
It’s not propaganda. I thought it was interesting. And I like the Daily Mail.
And I’m not “spreading” it anywhere. The Daily Mail as a much much larger audience that Lemmy. Lemmy is way too small to be accused of spreading anything.
I wouldn’t have ever seen this article if you didn’t post it here. And yes, it’s propaganda. Republican media outlets and politicians have been trying to push this concept prior to and following the election. When they come up with some idea like this, “I was a Democrat who switched to maga because maga is so great and democrats are MEAN to me”, and organize to push it in traditional and social media to manipulate people, that’s what propaganda is.
So is anything that pro-republican going to be seen as “propaganda” by you? Are all the pro-Harris articles and pro democrat articles, “propaganda” as well?
I didn’t write the article. It was about a gay guy who decided to vote Republican, after being a Democrat for a while.
Lemmy is a community where people post things that they find interesting. I thought the article was interesting. So I posted it. That’s all there is to it. It’s not some grand scheme on my part.
I totally respect your right not to like it or this community.

It certainly would be good for your campaigns wouldn’t it? No more pesky bannings for trolling and sealioning

Thanks!
So why spread this obvious propaganda from one of the worst news sources in the world?
