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:
consciousness doesn’t grant agency. free will does. if we can’t agree on this, then go on making up your own definitions.
Perhaps I should try for a different word to describe it or modify it in some way. I will concede it ends up entering into semantic debate sometimes (if the discussion even reaches this point) and I find that kind of discussion pretty dull.
