Planet Debian Allows Politics (But It Depends on Your Opinions and Debian's Big Sponsors)

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 06, 2024

Planet Debian is OK with politics... as long as all your political opinions are the "correct" ones and you add cute animals.

WHEN someone in Debian or someone syndicated in Planet Debian expresses a political opinion they sometimes say "shut up", censor the person, or shadow-ban the contributor. It happened many times before (if you were lucky enough and managed to notice before the cull).

But this is OK today: (right now, top 2 stories)

They've even filed this under "Debian".

Why was it filed under "Debian"?

Anyway, if Debian says "no politics" refer them to this screenshot. Terror sympathisers are accepted, too. The "masters" of Debian are moderators. Big Sponsors are the "masters" or appoint "masters". █
