I don't even believe George.News is legitimate, but this is one of the LAST places on the internet you can even discuss such things.
I realize this is not a free speech space and that mods are trying to curate a good experience, but how about letting the community decide whether to link and discuss GN?
Having mods tell us we can't discuss something controversial on one of the last remaining places on the internet we can discuss any of this... now THAT is whiney, authoritarian, liberal behavior. Wouldn't you agree? Aren't these the very reasons why we created our own space?
The mods should trust US, the q following community, over their own preferences. That's the whole point of this forum. Lin Wood and others will be banned next and we'll have to see 6 stickied posts from the mod who decided to do it without any other debate, and complaining that WE'RE fighting to maintain free discussion on this site, which I will remind everyone is something very worth fighting for in 2021.
We are becoming that which we hate. Stop censorship NOW. Allow discussion of controversial topics like GN, who cares whether powerhungry mods agree with the hot takes or not. This should be OUR space, not the space of a small group of elite mods.

Only 19% voted to reverse.
