Reddit is so untrustworthy. r/modcoord thread purges all pro-fediverse comments, then r/redditalternatives removes the thread exposing it. (sh.itjust.works)

r/redditalternatives thread: This is why I don't trust anything on reddit. A r/modcoord thread full of anti-fediverse comments, and all of my pro-fediverse comments are removed and the mods won't answer why. https://web.archive.org/web/20240111205116/https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/193iuf1/this_is_why_i_dont_trust_anything_on_reddit_a/

I don't love lemmygrad but I love that it exists. I don't mind hearing differing opinions, quite the opposite; I welcome it. Probably an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't mind having more right-wingers here aswell. The only thing I have an issue with regarding groups like this is the trolling.

Indeed, though i disagree with you that i want more right-wingers here lol. Im happy to have left that noise on reddit. Can't you hear them off in the distance? strains to hear

Yup, they're still at it!

Jokes aside i actually like going to them for the explicit purpose of destroying my biases and bad arguments. Other people's biases are easier to see than one's own i figure, but i know i have them, right? I have to. Everyone does.

I go on FOX news too, and see the way they "frame" things because it's easier to see when they're saying things i disagree with.

Watching FOX and then other, more 'left wing news'sources has been tremendously helpful to me, because i notice the "framing" trick when they employ it too. I really hate when anyone attempts to manipulate my emotion for what i assume is their gain, so i put in the work to avoid it if i can.

Figuring this shit out is a lot of work to be honest. Even a truthful source can be misleading as hell by omitting important context. Just like for hardware review, or video game review, or whatever, I try to find someone whose reporting omit nothing on some stuff I heavily researched (it's rare), and only then I feel comfortable weighting in their report on the stuff I know less about.

On the other hand, a lot of people just eat everything up from some random source they grew up with because the alternative is a lot of work, mentally and emotionally.

That being said, there is a certain point where listening to those people's opinions stop being fruitful. Hence, I don't really care about any extremist views in places like Lemmy.

You said it man, it's tiring as shit. I do it anyway, fueled by spite an a hatred of being lied to
