People still use Indeed? I thought it had followed monster.com into the wayback machine.

To quote a bit of context from your link:

MintPress News supported former Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia and Iran. It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective.[6] In one contentious article, MintPress News asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government, a claim pushed by the Russian and Syrian governments and rejected by much of the international community.[4]

MintPress News was a major media domain that spread disinformation about the White Helmets, a Syrian volunteer organization.[7] The site has been accused of regularly publishing pro-Russian propaganda,[8] and has been described as a conspiratorial website by media studies and disinformation scholars.[9][10]

MintPress News is headquartered in Minnesota, where it operated one office location until 2014.

Ya know, when the whole GME squeeze drama was going on, it was real tempting to ride the wave, but I always smelled a rat, and IMHO, their business model was mortally wounded once direct downloads became a viable means of purchase. Without games being reliant on physical media, inventory shrank, and it seemed like most of their floor space was more focused on selling FunCo figures than games.

It didn’t surprise me when Cohen started cutting jobs, and I honestly think that the stock has only been kept afloat by the Reddit Apemind and /r/wallstreetbets long past the squeeze has been squoze.

Blaming woke DEI is just a smokescreen and an excuse. Those stores were failing. All of Gamestop is failing, and Cohen’s looking to blame anyone but himself.

I say somewhat - it really depends on which server you’re on, because that defines the initial community that will be immediately available to you. There’s also plenty of mods and admins that have very pronounced political views and will exercise their power according to them.

I’ve found that the discussion is better here, although slower, and there are far fewer bots and trolls (although Fediverse trolls tend to be heartier and more persistent than their Reddit cousins).

Ok, some of these mod responses are gold:
