      Everything I’ve seen from OP leads me to believe they are leftist. Care to cite an example of them shilling for the right?

        Centrists have this thing where they accuse anyone to their left of being all the way to their right.

          One thing I love about being on this instance is I’m blissfully unaware because downvotes are disabled. This is what I see.

          American Democrats think anyone who criticizes their actions – such as opening more concentration camps, continuing Trump’s wall (yes, that wall), arming genocidal states, and taking power away from the working class – anyone who criticizes these things MUST be a right-wing shill.

          I’m not joking. That’s really what they think. I get it all the time. Hence the downvotes, and hence the unfounded claims about OP.

            Ahh…

            So satisfying, on the other hand, to see posts reach +400 without dissent…

            Everyone liked that!

            It also gives a good town hall kind of feel, like I get a sense of how many people are in the room and how many are shaking their heads.

      Yo peep their post history.

      • Pro-Obama voter (plan saved her life)

      • Capitalism lead to modern slavery in chocolate production

      • Police kill 10k family dogs a year

      Pro-Obama. Anti-Capitalism. Anti-Police Brutality.

      Maybe you’re thinking of someone else or I didn’t dig deep enough?

        He sanitizes his post history. I’ve had several interactions with him to the point that I remember his name. Everything in my inbox that has his name says that content can’t be found.

          Might be wrong to ask for screenshots since folks should be allowed to have some agency there… when they’re not being abusive… What were you discussing?

          Saw this amongst tons of left-wing content and pro-Palestine views, but not sure what the original posts were:

          Will keep an eye out.

              lies about being a far left wing supporter and deletes far-right view comments and posts so they can claim their post history supports far-left ideas
              people get screenshots of their far right-views before they’re deleted
              surprised Pikachu face wHy ArE yOu StAlKiNg Me?!??

              My brother in Christ, if you’re far right wing just go chill in the communities that support that viewpoint instead of trying to make the rest of lemmy toxic with this “I’m a super-left socialist and you’re bad or wrong if you don’t agree with me” thing that fox news believes is how real liberals or socialists act

              A 2016 article in The New York Times estimated that more than 10,000 people were participating in online communities “organized around the conviction that its members are victims of a sprawling conspiracy to harass thousands of everyday Americans with mind-control weapons and armies of so-called gang stalkers”.

              You got me with the mind control.

              I’ll “keep an eye out” for my own edification… are you of multiple minds? Is there a user with a similar username? You doing a study? Are others upset you’re pro-Palestine? etc., whatever it could be.

              I investigated complaints that I was incredulous of. There are like seven of us on this platform, early days… good to understand how it’s being used. For example I went through some of those defederated instances (cannot recommend).

              And I guess I do care about you based on sticking up for your post history earlier. Your user experience is important.

                Thanks for sticking up for me.I just don’t understand the personal attacks and fascination with me. I’m just a guy that posts things I like for content. If people don’t like it, ignore it, downvote it, or report it. But to attack a user and make them out to be something they are not is abusive and immature. I can read the comments, they can ask me questions.

                  Are you surprised multiple users reported a posting pattern which you’ve never followed? I speculated a bit… what’s your hypothesis?

          Or, the mods delete my post/comments. I have deleted posts from a bad information source. If I delete this post right now, what would it say in your inbox?
