I believe everyone has their blind spots, but yeah, it appears that this person is too big of a distraction for people to look past. Personally when I read anything I view it from the lens that a human with bias wrote it and that it could potentially be propaganda. But just dismissing everything everyone writes as “fake news” is something I don’t agree with either. It’s a tough thing nowadays, deciding who and what to trust.
I like it and think it has a lot of potential, but at least with Lemmy I’ve encountered a lot of bugs. I want to also try Mastodon and have yet to delve into it.
