Censored by MAGA

I was visiting another discussion site where one person claimed that the January 6 protestors were peaceful and had no weapons. I responded with a rather long (for me) screed how this assertion was preposterous. I followed up with a link to a fact checking site to prove my point.

I was just notified that my post was deleted because it was"spam."
I did appeal and I'm waiting for a response - if there is one.

Is this now a new trend; that fact checking is forbidden?
We are certainly in dystopian times.

I think of all discussion forums as walled gardens. They only allow in those people that will confirm the bias of the owner, mods and most visitors.

There are maga people too.
I just think I hurt someone's feelers when they were disillusioned and they went to mommy to "tell" on me.
