I was checking Reddit for news sometimes but it seems I don't have to anymore as I'm finding the same news in both places. Pretty exciting.
Love seeing Republicans just doing Republican things too. The projection from them never fails to show their colours.
If you think these things are exclusive to republicans, you might be a victim of echo chambers
Don’t disparage new users, they should feel welcome! If we aren’t kind to people like koofnoof, we might soon find ourselves without thinly veiled bigotry and baseless finger pointing. Are you sure you want to defend basic modern moral standards?
Man, jerboa has a nice block function. I was using infinity for reddit, and not only was it something like 4 clicks, it had been broken for months. Jerboa? Click dots, click block. Smooth. Its great that there is a list in your account to to unblock here at lemmy as well if you change your mind for some reason.
Giving shitheels the boot is nice and breezy now.
Correct, everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as it doesn't violate the rules. This isn't a echo chamber and you will see views you might not agree with. That is how it should be.
Not exclusive. Just more common.
In the last 50 years there’s been hundreds of indictments of sitting confessional republicans and republican WH administration officials. There’s been like 20 for dems.
Ya, republicans do illegal dirtbag shit. And they’re not even good at it.
How many Democrats have been indicted and convicted of crimes related to their political office in recent years? Of course there is corruption in both parties but the Republicans aren't even on the same planet in that respect. If you think bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe, you might be a victim of echo chambers.
I would browse r/republican to get perspective on news that came out from a right wing perspective to keep my mind open to both sides.
I didn't just rely on left-leaning news or social media to form my views; I witnessed things such as projection myself over and over in the right-wong community, and from right-wing leaders.
