I was going to donate $5 per month, but I had second thoughts after seeing the profile picture on the donation site. I probably will still donate eventually, but I am not comfortable supporting an openly biased platform.
…I’m new. I’ll probably donate. I just need to make sure censoring people for different opinions isnt as common as it originally seemed. The fact that I was already banned from one of the most popular communities isn’t a good sign.
If those mods are the people that would receive the donations, then I don’t think they would use it for anything good…just a better funded echo chamber.
What donation site? All the links posted here just show the mastodon.world logo, which is just a lemmy logo shaped planet on one and a speech bubble shaped planet on the others…
what offending picture are you even talking about? what “echo chamber”? what are you on about?
OP got banned from the US news community because they made some pretty controversial statements and (from their personal PoV) questioned if MAGA cult followers exist. That’s the only community on LW they got banned from, cited as being for “rage baiting / trolling”, which yeah it very well could be, even with a benefit of doubt.
But that’s hardly an echo chamber. It’s just one community, and moderators are typically completely unaffiliated with the server and can pick and enforce their own rules, nothing stops them from making or joining another US news comm. They even boasted that blocking that comm made their feed better, so it’s not like they wanted to be there either.
Can you explain? What picture, and biased how?
Which picture? They all look pretty innocuous to me… Maybe I’m out of the loop on something?
Are you sure you weren’t looking at some patron’s profile? As far as I can tell the .world profile pics are just blue and green letters or a lemmy logo.
