i think they are both important, but i dont disagree at all. disinformation, which was the topic of this article, is a plague even worse than coronavirus. and to use hacked info and accounts to do so is underhanded and dishonest

anyway... why am I being downvoted? I rather regret speaking at all lol. i don't think I am opposed to the general thoughts on this topic ITT, I am shocked to see my views so suppressed they have literally disappeared from view. aren't downvotes supposed to be reserved for misinformation, toxicity, etc? all i was trying to say, was bring up a related topic to the article.. there was nothing of bad faith here, from my end.

this sort of interaction just makes me hesitant to speak in male dominated spaces like reddit. i dont know if there really is a place for me to speak at all, in general. but that's not your problem, i guess. i'm just thinking about what the prospects are for someone like me. there are so many discouraging influences, all telling me to shut up and stop participating socially.

anyway, i hope the rest of you have a good night. I'm just going to log off this sub for a while and focus on my business.
