If ‘Fuck Nat. po.’ = True, why did you post it?

Because I happened to be reading it and it is ok to read and share things from sources you don’t necessarily like.

What makes you want to support the source if you do not like the source?

I haven’t lived in Canada since around 2006. I try to keep up with the news because my family lives there and the talk about this all the time. I don’t use Google News, I don’t go on Reddit, and this article managed to make it’s way through the digestive track of the Internet to land in my feed, maybe on Mastodon.

So, I read it, and I was a little irked by the numbers. I shared it here and now I have the feedback I want.

It is heartwarming to be judged so immediately based solely on the source of something I shared. Lemmy is truly becoming Reddit.

Presumably, the content was interesting enough to make that sacrifice.
