After making this group I got banned from worldnews. This happened just a few hours ago.

I wasn't the one who took the initiative to make this group. The other mod did, and I thought I'd help with setting up icon, header and some of the stuff. Also filling up the feed. And as every 'western' post who brings criticism towards Russia or China it gets bogged down by people who think it is a conspiracy.

I kind of hate to plaster 'liberal' to anything. It's kind of cringe. But in this context it makes sense, and in retrospect I'm glad it exists.

Well, I did read that. I don't agree still with this group topic/theme/name. If you can't get to a conclusion within a group, you don't make your own group that agrees with you so you can feel comfortable (and become ignorant).

It's like laying in bed and not going out because the floor is too hard. It is much better to get in interaction with hard floor than rot in bed. (I know that my metaphors are sometimes bad... I hope this one is not :) )

Yeah, this is a concern we have elaborated on within the group. But it's more about having a more fruitfull setup. People have complained that articles that otherwise would be a great discussion is bogged down by the whole discussion regarding all mainstream western media being propaganda and that only lies are told.

Well that's about what are discussions :)

Well, these aren't usually discussions and it taints everything. I feel like you haven't really taken the time understand the context here or you are missing some social cues
