I'll be honest, I don't even want to read articles anymore. Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control. I just post something sarcastic or jokes in the comments. The only thing I care is if a hurricane is headed in my direction.

Y'all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

I don't click most links due to online tracking although fedi crowd is pretty good about cleaning up tracking links.

Either way, most media is owner class asset used to shill their interest. So reading that shit aint nothing but reading some rich old clowns opinion on the issue.

Comment section is where real discussion happens anyway.

I drop my 2 cents to see how it resonates and what counter points I can gather. Most of the time it is people screeching some owner sanctioned bullshit...

so much bootlicking or tankies...

I installed URLCheck from F-Droid on my android phone and tablet. It lets me review the link before it opens, tells me what each parameter does, and lets me remove specific/all parameters so I can just go to the direct link. No more trackers in links!
