I was surprised too, my first foray into this platform was on the trending page and I saw a lot of non mainstream posts which had little interaction and where there was it was largely agreement.
It was refreshing to see this, a rebuttal if you will, being met with a LOT of engagement and that being from the saner side of the yard.
We cannot always agree on everything and the world would be homogenous place if we did but dangerous mistruths do have to be countered.
I applaud your post
