I honestly don’t feel safe posting here anymore. I post something conversational, yet open for healthy debate, and get shut down with warnings. If you can’t post opinions in a forum, the forum is doomed.

Not sure I would say I don’t feel “safe”, but I certainly felt censored.

How fishbowl gauges what’s “warning” worthy can be surprising. I guess it’s determined case-by-case, undeniably impacted by a fishbowl admin’s personal sensitivities.

I once posted about the Supreme Court gifting Trump presidential immunity, and was given a warning as well, with my post removed. But not before I got a few likes on my post.

I think a lot of things in the world are connected, especially where politics is concerned.

I would think the Supreme Court’s determinations impacting all of our lives in the U.S., and indeed globally, connects to pretty much everything anyway.

So yeah, I posted in the advertising bowl and got shut down too.

You’re in good company.

See the response in the thread on how everything is advertising and political…

I will continue to respond in a way I’m inspired to. My peeps are advertising peeps, creative thinkers. It’s the space I live in, the space in which I process, assess and think critically.

If that gets shut down, so be it. We live in a world where it’s far too easy to be silent rather than stand up for something.

People can choose to ignore what they don’t like, or what they feel doesn’t fit neatly into lanes, lines, labels and categories.

That’s a far better approach than shutting voices down and off.

Assuming I’m a “sir” reveals so much.

Have a great rest of your day!

Well did you post it in the context of advertising And how that affected the industry? If not I think you’re posting in the wrong place

Just saw a post from the bowl Captain saying "no politics!" That's a bit unrealistic I think. But I guess you have to clearly tie it back to advertising.
