Edit: I may have confused this with another asking about finding 'correct non-MSM sources' and posting stories about 'vaccine bad' and 'masks cause brain damage', but I'll leave it in case those are still up elsewhere and say if I did mix it up then mea-culpa.

Edit edit: Yeah, growling at the wrong person. Meant for this one https://lemmy.today/post/1533120

I'm willing to take the notion that there's an honest intent. The major problem I would see is that in looking for 'non MSM' sources isn't in looking for alternative views, it's in looking for a confirmation bias fulfilling source. Scientific reporting becomes 'mainstream' through a consensus on facts pushing the reported version to the front page.

You would be hard pressed to find someplace that says asbestos, lead paint, and cigarettes are good and healthy things for anyone, but I'm sure if you look really hard some 'non-MSM' source would put together a story of why they in fact make for a fine breakfast cereal. Things such as one of the first posts you made regarding 'masks kill brain cells' fall into the same category. Somebody with a personal ax to grind will inevitably find reason to claim they are bad, but the overwhelming normalization of their use in medical facilities by people far more knowledgeable than you or I, very well educated people who's very profession is to study these things, makes any such claims as you made sit out in the lunatic fringe side of conversations.

Unfortunately, there are a good number of people out there gullible enough to be baited by such things, for example see the whole 'QAnon' fiasco, and putting such things out there is a net bad for society. Social media for all it's uses also allows followers of absurd theories to reinforce each other's beliefs where previously such things would be left to die in darkness.
