        There is a point to be made though about reading too many things from the same outlet ig, even if it’s generally reliable.

        They could’ve just said that instead of being weirdly condescending about it, when not being an active user themselves.

      Lotta talk from someone using big words like complacency without knowing what they mean.

      Your account is almost a week old, and posts pretty much only news articles from this site, along a few other random sites with seemingly no favoritism towards any of them except for this one and not even commenting up until a day ago.

      But okay, I guess you can try and gaslight everyone here into thinking that’s normal behavior somehow.

      Let me make a lemmy account to only repost links to news sites all day every day for… fun?

      Sure.

        Exactly. They get all huffy and upset and defensive, but in the end the record speaks for itself.

        No matter what they say or rant about their post history shows the truth.

        Fun fact. They could prove me wrong by not favoring one specific site going forward, but they won’t I suspect.

          My sibling in christ I replied to you with an “Lmfao”. Is that too “huffy and upset and defensive” for you?

          I’m not gonna plant my feet in any one position because there really isn’t enough info to convict per se, but I fully agree that this account is odd in their posting nature and it definitely seems like they’ve got a hard on for this site specifically but apparently not all of their “content” is showing up for me for some reason.

          I’m guessing it’s because it’s in defederated communities or something like that.

            Fair. I edited my last comment in this chain to be more fair. It’s a trend I noticed on Lemmy though. Very specific people are extremely enthusiastic about very specific sites. I’ve seen it for RT quite a bit as well.

              I’ve noticed the same thing specifically around Chinese news sites and Singapore sites.

              Not saying anything is a grand conspiracy, just noting odd things for the rest of the public to either cast aside as crazy talk or pick up on and share their own findings alongside.
