Do we have some reason to believe that information about these protests (from three days ago, which we are currently discussing and looking at photos of) is being suppressed on lemmy? Or was being suppressed? Would that be evident in checking the mod logs?
Edit: even OP just said in another comment that they “saw an article about it” after all. I guess I just don’t understand the framing of the question
The opposite. I think Lemmy is so open that the fact that none of these protests made it onto my feed tells me it wasn’t big enough news. Maybe news sites weren’t suppressing it, it just wasn’t bigger news than what was showing up.
Honestly, Musk’s Nazi salute kind of overshadowed every other news story coming out that day.
Yeah that is concerning honestly. Three days wasted on nothing but arguing whether or not he is a nazi. Reddit banning twitter links is bigger news than the ICE raid
It wasn’t showing up on Lemmy either.
I’m seeing it on lemmy right now
Did you see it on Inauguration Day?
I didn’t see shit about this on Inauguration Day

Two days before inauguration day on CBS. The chyron reads “worldwide protests” during the whole story despite focusing on the US women’s march.
Yes, it was on [email protected]
Eight years ago 500,000 marched in DC against Trump. He has returned and so has the protest - just on a smaller scale

You didn’t see that on Inauguration Day. Unless you were browsing c/news specifically and saw that post swim a few days prior.
Even if you did, it likely didn’t get enough upvotes to appear for the masses to see.
Yes?

Then it did it’s job.
Damn. Good point.

Which might have been partially the point.
