I posted this meme to the Lemmy Shitpost community. I reckoned that it might generate a bit of debate, and would probably end up locked, but the entire post got deleted, and moreover, I’m now forbidden from sharing political posts to the community. Political posts are not against the rules of the community.

I have reason to believe that the post was deleted not because it was controversial, but because the moderator (Decoy321) disagreed with the political slant of the meme. The reason I find this suspicious is because other controversial posts, such as one about veganism remains up, and Decoy321 seemed to enjoy the fact it was controversial:

    PTB!

    Bruh, I criticized the two-party system, and admitted I voted third party (Socialist Party) in the 2024 presidential election. Lemmy is STILL pissed off about it and says I’m a Trumper–all because I didn’t vote Democrat. More and more people are starting to realize a 2-party system sucks, but damn, Lemmy ain’t their yet.

    You marked for life now, dawg! Good luck! LMAO

    (Oh and fuck you Lemmy, I’m gonna vote third party in the next election too. :) )

      I am not able to comprehend people criticizing voting for third party. What is the meaning of vote if you cannot select a candidate of your choice?

        Exactly my thoughts! It’s finally becoming more common to think like this on Lemmy now, but holy hell… in 2024 many Lemmy’s legit wanted to crucify people who thought like this. And they still follow me around and regularly ask that I be banned from the entire fediverse!

        I’m not going anywhere tho. :) And I’m so proud of how mad they got, I put their comments and posts in my profile banner:

      Yeah I’ve been fending off those freaks like they’re extras running at me one at a time in a kung-fu movie with bad takes. I’m not even American, I wasn’t eligible to vote in the 2024 election, but because I criticized Joe Biden/Kamala Harris, that must mean I just fuckin LOVE Trump.
