Unreal, waiting for a 2 sentence post about censorship.
I like this new feature of compiling these kind of stories for us to read. I don’t read Ammoland daily since the censoring algorithm is overzealous and the staff seems to not be interested in resolving the waiting for approval holds in a timely manner or changing the methodology for sequestering posts.
