I honestly find these articles too hard to read now .

The media might have cared about this, but Los Angeles was burning so you can guess what they went with

I am the mod and creator of an anti corruption sub.

Could that be a clue to my bias ?

Clever, but thats directed at someone, me, and not at an article. You’ll appreciate it’s not the same .

So, I read the piece, my opinion of the piece is that it’s far too emotional.

So I wrote that.

If you are, as perhaps the moderator was, somehow inflamed by that, I can only apologies and wish you the best of luck with forums.

Alternatively, if I’m out line as you say, maybe I’m the one who should avoid taking the time to add comments and keep a dying platform alive for a bit longer ?

The context being, because other mods have banned me, this mod should to ?

A touch medieval don’t you think ?

Ok and ?

Why would you do that ?

What don’t you like about my history ?

IIRC It was replying to a guy, who said he liked to jump hard on the brakes every few seconds if people were driving too close, so I wondered, you know, if anyone had got pissed off with him .

I don’t see anything wrong with it, but like I said - mods like the ban button, it’s why they do it.

News consumption is the root of all evil.

This is pure nonsense

What Putin does to Russian journalists in Russia is nothing to do with anyone else, no matter how barbaric.

All the rest was part of his America first plan to spend less globally.

It’s not some hair brain conspiracy

I feel like the contents of his soul are starting to show on his face. Interesting.

What is the strongest possible action from the southern hemisphere?

200 IQ

I say some popular things and I say some unpopular things, but I’m glad you like it.

What’s your favourite bit ?

And there’s nothing wrong with that all.

In that case the other commenter is right - remove that and you have next to nothing.

But You either shield people , or you don’t . If people wants to explore annd find communities , surely they understand there will be some they like and some they don’t.

Just join a catmeme instance and browse local, not all.

Slrpnk.net doesn’t have any politics on it. You can read about mushroom and collecting rainwater and recycling and never encounter anything polarising.

Edit :

The other thing, is that most of what passes for politics on Lemmy, is really just news and rage bait. Very few of the hundreds of submission about what Trump said or What China did, or what Pelosi think are political, they just amplify inflammatory messages

Whenever someone uses the word woke, you can immediately know they are unserious.
