You may have noticed a distinct lack of return2ozma. This is due to their admitting, in a public comment, that their engagement here is in bad faith:

I’m sure there will be questions, let me see if I can address the most obvious ones:

  1. Can I still post negative stuff about Biden?

Absolutely! We have zero interest in running an echo chamber. However, if ALL you’re posting is negative, you may want to re-think your priorities. You get out of the world what you put into it and all that.

  1. Why now?

Presumption of innocence. It may be my own fault, but I do try to think the best of people, and even though they were posting negative articles, they weren’t necessarily WRONG. Biden’s poll numbers, particularly in minority demographics ARE in the shitter. They are starting to get better, but he still has a hell of a hill to climb.

  1. Why a 30 day temp ban and not a permanent ban?

The articles return2ozma shared weren’t bad, faked, or from some wing-nut bias site like “beforeitsnews.com”, they were legitimate articles from established and respected news agencies, pointing out the valid problems Biden faces.

The problem was ONLY posting the negatives, over and over and then openly admitting that dishonest enagement is their purpose.

Had they all been bullshit articles? It would not have taken anywhere near this much time to lay the ban and it would have been permanent.

30 days seems enough time for them to re-think their strategery and come back to engage honestly.

    Refusing to stop posting debunked claims is dishonest

      And yet that’s not the reason for the ban or mentioned

            Why would I bother search through his account history now?

              if what you are saying were true, you could do it. a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. i don’t believe you, and no one should.

                Ok so I scrolled back line 2 weeks of the dudes history, and apparently he posts dozens of times per day and I can’t be bothered to scroll further. Some dozen articles on polls blaming the admin for stuff they aren’t responsible for, ignoring things they did do, and some article insinuating dementia, and a bunch of doomerism. There’s probably better examples further back than 2 weeks, but I can’t be bothered. Other people in this thread has given examples of stuff they’ve seen from him so maybe check for yourself

                  Why not all the shit blaming him for what Republican congress members does

                  it doesn’t sound like you actually found anything to support your claim. if you did, it would still be trivial to link it.
