It doesn't take much energy to do this kind of posting honestly that's the problem. If I actually improved the signal:noise all the news posts would at least have quotes and the music would have reviews etc. have decided that westoids who can explain why the alt media sucks to peripheral countries are worth exempting from #nukeveryone policy

Don't worry about that, I have like 170 Lemmy network users in a profiles RSS feed ๐
My issue with alt media outlets is that they attract people acting out of positive intent, piggyback off of antiimperialist messaging to promote colonial historical premises & ineffective strategies for combating it.
Something I accepted years ago is until I improve my understanding of what mental skills I picked up from others (and what I missed, as I miss quite a bit), there is no way I can explain them to others. The typical shortcut people recommend is trying to verbally eviscerate others for their perceived impurities but I left that in my Bernie era. If I weren't following altmediaguy's site, not like I'd suddenly notice you posted a website I marked down as Grade C psyop and get testy #imnormal #ipromise
If you somehow noticed the crash-out over people here taking a fictional anti-China pro-Palestine stance, that's something that bothered me because even with the infromation they had, it was a clear reversion to old liberal habits with glee and relief
Oh I'm aware! Alt media can go from Breitbart and OANN to *Quds News and MEE. I'm pleasantly surprised by altmediahouse, and I like the admin, best I can tell. I don't always agree with everything, everyone says there, but I feel like he admin is acting in good faith.
Well I hope you'd warn me!
You're normal to me, but not in the usual meaning (mainstream) normal kind of way. I understand testiness, too, heaven knows I'm testy often enough, often enough. But I'm glad you're not "normal" in the "well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society," kind of way!
I don't recall noticing, but if I did, I probably innerstood it and either wasn't bothered by it and/or hoped you're okay. Don't tell me not to worry about you, either. I always worry about good people, even good online people. Everyone needs a good crashout occasionally, it shows us things about ourselves, for good or for ill, and if it prompts us to self-reflection and self-care, even better. Fwiw, I see more pro-Palestine, anti-China crap on the fake left Nazi instances. When I got there, they were genocide denying, then "do you condemn Hamas?!" That's settled down, now they're "do you condemn Iranian leadership?!" "Maduro was bad!" I hope Ed Bernays evil psych can be undone in the generations behind us.
