I agree that the world is full of junk food knowledge. Me being left, these articles don't even look like knowledge cause they just say stuff I don't agree with and don't have any supporting arguments. The words just bounce off me.

I can understand an article making you happy, then feeling like you want to post it. No judgment on that, but why post such a right article in such a left space? Especially such a surface level one? I guess there is dopamine in arguing.

I can easily (but maybe inaccurately) see this as rage bait just to pass the time. That's based on the idea the the daily mail wouldn't convice a leftist on anything.

Because I don't think this should be just a left space. I think there should be more diverse opinions. So I'm being the change I wanna see and I'm posting articles that don't necessarily line up with the democrat groupthink echo-chamber that Lemmy is becoming.

It's not ragebait because I'm not trying to enrage anyone.

I see. Well I wish you luck. You working agaist some pretty large forces lol. It'd be dope to see some pieces that actually have something substantial to say.

Oh, I'm aware that the echo-chamber here is strong. There have even been entire threads to ban me. Luckily not all instance admins believe in censorship.

I've posted articles from AP News, Newsweek, The Hill, Reuters, etc. They are not all Daily Mail.

I've also just created a community that will be posts from Trump's Truth Social network. So I'm assuming there will be more calls to ban me in the near future.

Thanks, friend!
