I think you nailed it. For me personally, if I move to PieFed, it's not because I want to "hurt" the devs, it's because I really don't want to be part of what they stand for.

The title of the article is referring to "chemtrails" as false. (You are blocked now too. So no point in responding.)

The point was not about if it was happening or not. It's about how these examples are used as fodder to keep the conspiracies flowing about chemtrails.

If you mix just the right amount of conspiracy with a little bit of fact, you get to keep all the votes from the crazies. It's super easy to use big words like "geoengineering" and twist them to imply that hormones are mixed with jet fuel.

I read it as bees.

Please do not the bees.

I was considering, for a quick second, to move off of Lemmy for reasons. (It would be an ideological move and not worth a conversation, TBH.)

It's about where a person wants their account hosted, s'all. Also, I am not sure what degree of separation there is between Lemmy and PieFed. Like you said, we can see PieFed content but I don't know how much.

"Fesi testified on the Senate floor April 28 during debate over his bill that he believes “certain agencies within the federal government are doing cloud seeding and geoengineering.” In an interview Friday, the senator was asked what evidence he had to support his claims.

“Look up in our sky,” Fesi answered.

In an interview, Fesi later said he sees “just tons and tons of cloud seeding” above his backyard and described it as “all of the stripes across the skies.”

These bills are fueled by conspiracy theories and idiocy.

Lol, no. Most of maga can't even spell Europe, so all of those things you list, while true, are way beyond their comprehension.

The politicians just point at European countries and say they stupid because they talk funny and they are stealing from you. (It doesn't matter if that is true or not, it's just "someone else to blame" for made up problems.)

Alumina (aluminum oxide) is what you are extracting from aluminum ore and it's tough as fuck, which is why it's easier to dissolve the rest of the stuff around it first.

Oxygen is mainly that other "junk" you have to separate with electricity. While the smelters only run at 4.5 volts (per cell), they have to push about 300kA to get the stuff up to ~950°C which breaks its chemical bond.

You probably have never even touched pure aluminum before. Aluminum and oxygen react so quick, all we typically ever see and touch is a alumina shell.

LEGAL LOGIC TWIST EVERY GUESS FINAL

I am not sure if I would trust a company that claims a glorified fanny pack will protect your health from EMF radiation.

Like others have said, take a break from the internet for a while. (After this particular post slows down and you digest what people here have to say, of course.)

On Lemmy, my habit is usually to block every controversial community that I can. If I see trolls that hang out in specific communities, I'll usually block them before they get a chance to interact with me. My feed here is fairly clean, but it took a while to filter out the dozens of political communities. (Political communities are breeding grounds for controversy, so stay away from the comments if you can.)

If you game, stay away from any toxic gaming communities or disable all chat if you can.

You may feel like you are missing out on things the more you sanitize your interactions online. Don't worry, you aren't.

Its harder to filter for people who may randomly attack you online. Self-control is paramount: The second you read a word of something negative, stop reading that comment and block that person if possible.

Still though, blocking and filtering only goes so far. The internets can be a hostile place whatever forum you are on. When you are able, it just takes a ton of patience and practice to properly ignore what you read online.
