Is the Guardian mainstream? I thought it was often derided as being fringe or a tabloid in the UK (this also may of been an effort to misinform, as I typically find myself agreeing with their articles, or at the least the ones I am presented with)

Yes, it’s a mainstream center-left newspaper in the UK, definitely not fringe or a tabloid

    These days it’s difficult to tell if it’s ragebait or trolling and some people here think things are obvious because we too live in an echo chamber, and some will just downvote and move on if they see something they disagree with or don’t like. I wouldn’t worry so much about downvotes here, you don’t get really buried like on Reddit and it doesnt matter overall (or at all). The Guardian is a very well known centre left newspaper that isn’t run by a large news corp, but that doesnt make it fringe, and tabloids are known for low effort journalism/gossip so it doesnt fit those categories. Either way, I hope you don’t get discouraged from contributing here if you are genuinely adding to the discourse. If you baitin then ya got me.

    Some real hair triggers around here sometimes.

    no, you see you got your replies, which was “no, it’s not that”, which kinda ended the discussion right there and being uninteresting to most it got downvoted, nothing to be disappointed about.

    Sorry, I was just answering your question and honestly didn’t mean it to sound agressive. English isn’t my native language so apologies if that came across as mean spirited, that wasn’t my intention

  Yeah the guardian is a quality news source imo. One of the few good ones left in the world

    The guardian is a tabloid rag with bigger words.
