Sure let’s check the sub I have never seen a single post from. Oh I can block the community there we go. Oh 15 different misinfo posts from 15 different maga.place communities, I guess I just have to block every single community. (i.e. block the instance). The difference is you can FIND those communities. I am seeing MAINLY these kinds of terrible posts on maga.place.

Here’s some undeniable misinfo posts from the NEWS community usanews https://maga.place/post/13207 https://maga.place/post/13643 Yes the shadowy antifa organization just like the shadowy blm organization. I’ve gone to these protests, I’m still waiting to get in contact with the antifa leaders and get my paycheck.

Also yes, you can find brainrot/divisiveness, but very rarely actual hatred, unless it’s a trans person saying “wow this administration quite literally took away my rights!” Or someone saying “I will actually die if they take away my healthcare.” This is not the same as “they hurt the economy and had stupid policies, let’s call them garbage.” Again I am not saying you WILL NOT FIND THIS ON THE LEFT. but it is a FIREHOSE vs a faucet. One of conservatives favorite shows fox news just repeats hatred towards democrats 24/7, and that is what they are used to.

Alright let’s compare to c/politicalmemes then

Mamdani didn’t just beat cuomo, he beat the establishment

The cruelty is the point (Republicans voting against snap, holding snap recipients hostage. Arguable that this is legitimately just true because it makes their bargaining better, but I could give you this one)

Post about the epstein files (nonpartisan even Republicans want it)

Everyone has lost their minds (nonpartisan)

Joke about how trump can’t read (I could argue hes proven this but ill give this to you)

Image of mamdani turning away from autocracy to democracy, with an angry trump. Biased but just a standard political cartoon

Joke about fox news saying liberals are losing by winning

Post about someone saying Mike Johnson won’t open the government because he doesn’t want to release the epstein files

Post about disabled rights being human rights

So 1 post about trump not being able to read, and 1 post about how the Republicans who are voting to not fund snap actually WANT people to not have snap. The rest are nonpartisan or positive messages all around. I felt better reading c/politicalmemes because among the brainrot there were positive messages and nonpartisan “hey guys this sure is crazy.” Waiting for the post on c/conservative where they say “hey guys protect your legal Mexican neighbor from ICE, there’s been a lot of false deportations.” Again I am not arguing that it DOESN’T happen, but maga.place is 50% EXTREMELY biased, hateful, or misinformation. Not comparable to 8/10 posts on a VERY heavily leftist site being apolitical, and the other 2 having a grain of truth if hyperbolic.

From: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/after-jimmy-kimmels-show-was-suspended-a-key-question-is-does-the-fcc-have-the-power-to-regulate-speech

"I mean, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct to take actions, frankly on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.” Carr likened Kimmel’s comment to “news distortion,” which is against FCC’s rules for broadcasters.

And then a couple hours later he is suspended. I guess it’s possible the FCC threatened to take action against people hosting Kimmel. Then, independently with no influence from the threat of their broadcast license being revoked, they removed Jimmy Kimmel. That is one possibility.

Ok sure I would agree. I would also say they are misinformed, so I would not use hateful language against my fellow Americans, saying they are the Hitler youth. I do not want someone who is misinformed to be CALLED Hitler youth because it will PROVABLY make it harder to change their mind and cause more divisiveness. Literally less than 0 reason to post it.

I am not saying they have 0 value for me. I’m saying objectively they have less than 0 value since many of their posts are hateful and divisive, or straight up misinformation. Someone being around misinformation and hatred makes them a more hateful person who also spreads that misinformation. I would block the instance regardless, but I don’t want the average joe thinking “hm maybe these guys have a point, I never see anyone discussing these (completely discredited) studies about climate change! They must be too radically leftist to do so.” and then start hanging out in conservative communities. This is literally how many people get radicalized, is through propaganda and fake news.
