And yes, it’s propaganda.

So is anything that pro-republican going to be seen as "propaganda" by you? Are all the pro-Harris articles and pro democrat articles, "propaganda" as well?

I didn't write the article. It was about a gay guy who decided to vote Republican, after being a Democrat for a while.

Lemmy is a community where people post things that they find interesting. I thought the article was interesting. So I posted it. That's all there is to it. It's not some grand scheme on my part.

I totally respect your right not to like it or this community.

You’ll get insulted and banned quickly.

Which was happening on Lemmy pre-election. A lot.

But you're right, you don't have to agree with me on anything. And I don't have to agree with you on anything. I have received more hate from liberals on Lemmy than I have from conservatives. And they were more hateful.

My personal experience. And that doesn't match your personal experience.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

It's not propaganda. I thought it was interesting. And I like the Daily Mail.

And I'm not "spreading" it anywhere. The Daily Mail as a much much larger audience that Lemmy. Lemmy is way too small to be accused of spreading anything.

And maybe this is where we disagree, but I think the "fuck you libtard pussy" insult is way less severe than the "I guess you love genocide."

The fuck you comment is just dismissive and they move on.

But the genocide mark is implying that you love something you don't, and they are trying to trap you, guilt you, mock you, and make you feel like shit about your life and your choices.

Right insulters just want to ignore you and want you to go away.

Left insulters definitely don't like to move on. They want you to fucking hate yourself. That's the difference I see.

For the record, tho, I didn't bow down to either side's insults. I was proud to vote Socialist party before election day (early mail-in!), and still proud after the election. :)

And I STILL get DM's that say I am working for Russia and getting paid in rubles and that I want to destroy America. Even tho the election is over. Just because I voted third party. (Hi, poopernickel, I'm still not in russia, still not gonna vote for your party, and I'm still around!)

Do you mean me personally? Or the guy in the article?

Because to clarify if you meant me personally: I didn't vote for Trump. Never have. Never would.

People were insulting me because I voted Socialist. So third party. So Dems hated me AND MAGA repubs hated me. Both sides were pissed off at me because I wasn't voting for their person. lol

Which as we now know after the election results, didn't affect the outcome at all. Because even if every single person who voted third party, would have voted for Harris instead, she still would have lost. That's how big the margin of loss was.

If Bernie would have ran, I would have voted for him tho.

Tho I do agree with your idea of blocking, I just want to make it clear that I'm not MAGA. I'm not sure you meant that you thought I'm MAGA, but I wanted to just make that clear to any others who may be confused. I never have been MAGA, never would be.

I voted Socialist.

But yes, if more people just blocked posters they don't want to hear from, rather than insulting and going back-and-forth, I think it would be good for everyone long-term.

It's not spam. It's one article I've posted here on this instance today and it got copied over to one other instance. Not everyone has access to every instance. So that doesn't really count as spam.

Also, the article matches the title, even tho you may have tried to report it for spam by mentioning that the video had nothing to do with the article.

But it's not a video article, it's an article for reading. I don't play the videos.

I'm not sure what that means. Care to elaborate?

Thank you for this. I'm not super familiar with that area of political background, so thanks for that insight.
