It’s so fucking weird. I’m accustomed enough to people on Lemmy SWEARING that they aren’t allowed to talk about [thing which is only controversial to Fox News boomers] and “they” will delete it if you even try, that I assumed this was crap too, but it seems like it’s true.
From the community rules:
R5: No posts about Democratic Socialists or Third Parties
- No posts about Democratic socialists
Apparently these use this to delete Bernie stuff.
WTF, why would people subject themselves to this
Another advantage of slashdot mod rules is how fine-grained it is, as a mod vote is accompanied by a multiple choice explanation, or evaluation of the comment.
It allows the reader to filter out all the goofball stuff, for instance.
