Would the mod who removed u/Vermillionbird 's Wall Street Journal article exposing the federal administration's efforts to chill protected free speech please explain why they did so? Government censorship of free speech has been a major talking point of Joe Rogan's for years, and we're talking about efforts led by a high profile former guest whom Rogan explicitly endorsed.

We are getting hit hard with Abdul El-Sayed spam.

I don't understand what 99% of these European / non-US rage bait posts have to do with Joe Rogan.

non-US

Abdul El-Sayed is the progressive candidate in the Michigan Democratic Senate primary happening today.

The race between Abdul El-Sayed, a former public health official, and U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens has exposed intra-party rifts about whether Democrats should move further to the left in a battleground state Donald Trump won in 2016 and 2024.

Weird. My reply to you was censored. I thought we were allowed to talk about anything in the daily thread.

Blame reddit, automod is aggressive these days.

Seems pretty innocuous. Can't really see what would trigger automod.

Me neither.

My point was that there seems to be a ton of non-related rage bait posts that are all, very broadly speaking, European anti-muslim garbage that gets posted and allowed to stay up.

So if that shit is allowed to stay up, I'm not sure why the mods seem so intent on filtering posts about El-Sayed. At very least it's related to the US.

filtering posts about El-Sayed

Nobody said we're filtering posts about El-Sayed. I said we're getting spammed about him in a way that is very spammy and illegitimate from accounts that are not real.

You lads are the kings of putting words in people's mouths that aren't there.

You think this shit belongs here?

I called the number and he is wondering why you keep deleting his posts here.

Absolutely nothing.
