Oh the article upset me? Wow I’m glad you let me know, or I would have missed that! I actually said at the time that while it was a nice theory that Russia was trying to sway public opinion towards themselves, I didn’t actually think they could pull off something like that. Keep in mind I never said the idea was crazy, just that I don’t trust either the website nor the style in which this was written.
I am sorry. I genuinely thought you were upset that the OP posts articles that besmirch the veritable Biden administration since you jumped to grasping at straws like the writing style and the mediabiasfactcheck report instead of assessing the original source and author of the article which are usually much better indicators of reliability.
I’m trying to piece together your suggestion, but I’m not sure about “lemmygrad”? Is that a reference to the server this was posted on, the server the OP is from, or something else I’m missing?
The server the poster is from, and their comments are hosted. Authoritarians that like the color red congregate there, and with them comes bad faith arguments and consternation. Depending on your browser/app you can ban their instance from reaching you.
Gotcha. I haven’t blocked a whole instance before, but yeah I’m starting to consider it. I’ve noticed a few different nicks posting constant trash lately – most of them get downvoted pretty quickly but a few of them get some traction, and I guess that’s WHY these things keep getting posted.

You should just do what I do and block lemmygrad. I don’t see authoritarian drivel, and neither should you!
