    Your daily lemmy experience. Better make sure the only facts you quote are “oild rigs are weather machines”, “twitter is now worth 25% of what musk paid for it”.

    Don’t you dare quoting facts like “Trump has only half of the popular vote”. You’ll be chased and, maybe, banned.

      “Trump has only half of the popular vote”

      What’s divisive about that? Honest question, I’m genuinely oblivious.

        He didn’t even have half of the popular vote when he got elected. This is recorded historical fact. Clinton received 3m more votes.

          Yeah, okay, but how is the statement “Trump has only half of the popular vote” chase and/or banworthy? Who bans you for that, and for what reasoning? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve seen some pretty weird moderation on some instances, just not this particular instance.

            Ok, that’s a fair question, and I don’t have an answer for that one. I’ve so far successfully avoided this particular landmine.

      I haven’t heard anything but mockery about the “Democrats control the weather” thing. Are there Lemmy communities that have actual idiots spouting this? Other than the few famous trolls who are basically doing a bit at this point?

      I wish this was only on Lemmy. I live this life. I am surrounded by this daily! I am scared in my own country.
