    I don’t write the articles and there is no Lemmy rule that I have to “back up” something just because I post a link to an article.

      I wasn’t talking about you specifically, but you’re absolutely right, you don’t have to justify anything.

      At the same time, there is no lemmy rule that people can’t ask you why did you post this article? Do you agree/disagree? Is this your opinion and if so how do you come to that conclusion?

      And if you can’t or won’t answer, if you don’t discuss topics you bring up in a discussion area, then people are going to conclude you’re not actually here to “express your opinion”, but for some other reason.

        Ahh, ok, my apologies.

        At the same time, there is no lemmy rule that people can’t ask you why did you post this article?

        Of course people can ask. Just don’t expect it. Because there are many many people that post articles who don’t discuss them at all.

        And if you can’t or won’t answer, if you don’t discuss topics you bring up in a discussion area, then people are going to conclude you’re not actually here to “express your opinion”, but for some other reason.

          Yea, that’s why I wasn’t talking about you specifically.

          Exactly. The card says moops.

          But I did read the sidebar and the first thing it says is that this is a place for discussion. So if a whole buncha ppl coming here and dropping off “news articles” with no discussion whatsoever, what else am I supposed to think but that these are propaganda bombs meant to disrupt reality and push a false alt-right nazi narrative? Cuz that’s what it looks like.

            Not sure what that means. Is that a Lemmy acronym?

            o if a whole buncha ppl coming here and dropping off “news articles” with no discussion whatsoever, what else am I supposed to think but that these are propaganda bombs meant to disrupt reality and push a false alt-right nazi narrative?

            But it’s a conservative news community. Were you surprised to find conservative news articles in a conservative news community? I don’t understand your issue.

            I don’t feel like having a deep political discussion. If you do, cool. But find someone else to do that with you. I’m not the guy.

            How would it be “propaganda” if it’s confined to a conservative news community on Lemmy?!
