Don't take your views from anything here. Even with sources.
Why would I not let something that is well sourced influence my views? What is your issue with here?
Because everyone here is a degenerate. Myself included. Bias is everywhere, a single, or even a collection of sources is a porthole on a topic. Lemmy is for memes, not facts. No social media is for facts. I'm a liar and so are you. So are they.
Friend, nobody seeing or commenting on a pro-union post is a caviar-munching degenerate. While I know social media is prone to bias and misinformation by nature, that doesn't necessarily mean everything is a lie. Can we not find factual information just because we happen to be on a website with commentary?
Every single post/comment here should be seen as if from an unreliable narrator.
Dude, legacy media is far worse. It's not even in the same ballpark...
Never compared it to that. But like boomer bad amirite?
Curious, how do you get informed then?
Corroborate threads from multiple, non-including non-approaching sources from different globe- regions, ideally from different time periods. Seek peer reviewed, transparently funded sources.
If there's an opinion to be formed, seek it out yourself.
If someone anonymous tells you something, they had a reason to do so. Hold them in high suspicion, they spent their time on you. No one works for free.
Trust experts, but diversify sourcing as above.
Ultimately, everything I just said is a lie.

Absolutely. Everyone here is a child, wasting their time
Refreshing take. Now excuse me, I'm late for nap time.
