From a Fediverse-shaped viewpoint, it seems inconceivable that the Trump administration hasn't been run out of town yet. Of course, when seen from a different filter bubble, everything is just peachy. 😑
So I've been wondering: would there be interest in a Fediverse bot that posts Fox News headlines from their RSS feed? Just to provide a bit of context for what Red America gets fed in terms of propaganda. Opinions?
@floe you can't pipe Fox News articles into the fediverset without piping their dog whistles too. And the fediverse has a large enough problem with racism and alt-right bigotry without artificially adding more propaganda.
Adding propaganda to a feed never makes it more balanced. Being aware of what conservative/fascist America gets fed as propaganda takes work, and you can't automate that work by mixing their words in with everything else.
You are not immune to propaganda. No one is immune.
