@Emmanuel Florac Thereโs a famous German saying that goes like this: If you have a table of 1 Nazi and 9 people willing to speak with them, you have a table of 10 Nazis.
Iโm done giving them the benefit of the doubt regarding a literal death cult.
@Raroun looks like an ordinary right-wing US outlet. Labelling it 'nazi" seems definitely out of proportion. When everything is "nazi", then nothing is anymore.
@Raroun then at what point does opinions are too much right wing to have the right to be expressed in the Fediverse? Serious question. Most fediverse nodes are 99% hard-left wing, newsie.social included. Please explain like I'm 5 because I really don't get it.
@Emmanuel Florac They are too far right for me, which is a good reason for me to post to #FediBlock. You make what you want of this suggestion, but I certainly wonโt retract it because you personally are fine with Newsmax content. Beyond the political content (siding with Trump and Putin), the form is inflammatory and meant to stir fights rather than debates. It is the proverbial bad apple that will spoil the bunch and that warrants a FediBlock suggestion.
Looking at newsie feed : 1rst post on woodworking. Next a post calling for a boycott of Twitter. A post denouncing Total shareholder's meeting and the police treatment of the protesters. A post denouncing fossil fuels in Switzerland. A post to call to vote for progressive candidates in the US. An anarchist posting against ChatGPT. A post against trumpism. Posts about the fediverse, Linux, etc. 100% leftist.
A search on "Newsmax" returns nothing but an account on mastodon.world.
@Hypolite Petovan Ok, so the one link goes to your instance, and searches, where as, there is a label added with the hashtag that links to my instance and searches it.
