Every large state actor uses media as a propaganda tool, I‘m sure you know that. Blocking yourself to only get fed one version is … well, how about you build some media literacy and sharpen your critical thinking skills, instead. That way you‘ll be able to really decide for yourself. How long did western media parrot IDF propaganda? Oh, they still do? Damn ol‘ reality!
Multiple points of view are useful, the Kremlin's mouthpiece is not. If you practiced that media literacy you're talking about, you'd understand the difference.
And the blocking myself is to be polite so I don't keep scolding you goofs for choosing the dumbest possible source of "information."
Believe me, I know how to find propoganda like RT or trump's truth social feed, there's just no value to be gained from them.
Yes yes, I wasn‘t very clear here. I didn‘t argue for RT, idgaf about them. I‘m talking about blocking lemmy instances, because of ideologic dissonances. GL, fellow goof.
